About the role

The Women’s Unit at GV Health supports women in the Greater Shepparton Area and outlying towns, a population of approximately 120,000. Shepparton has a population of 37,000 and is located approximately 2 hours north of Melbourne. The town and surrounding areas have recently had a large population influx from Africa and the Middle East and also has one of the densest populations of Indigenous Australians in Victoria as well as a very large Italian heritage. In this area, the current birth rate is approximately 1000 per year with a significant number of high-risk pregnancies.

The hospital boasts a Special Care Nursery and is equipped to manage newborns from 32 weeks gestation, and an Adult Intensive Care facility. Antenatal and Gynaecology clinics are conducted at GV Health in Shepparton as well as outreach clinics in nearby facilities. Medical care in the maternity and gynaecology areas are provided by Specialist Obstetricians & Gynaecologists, Registrars and House Officers. In addition, local General Practitioners with obstetric qualifications sometimes support the unit.

Well over 800 Obstetric and Gynaecological procedures are performed at GV Health in our operating theatres on an annual basis, many of which are high-level, surgically complex operations. We have state of the art Laparoscopes & Hysteroscopes at GVH and operate at RANZCOG level 5.

GV Health is accredited with RANZCOG as a training centre for Diplomates and for Specialist FRANZCOG Training in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. GV Health is associated with the Shepparton Campus of the University of Melbourne Medical School and Clinical Sciences and our Department is involved with undergraduate teaching. We also conduct workplace assessments for foreign graduates and undertake GP Obstetrician training.

The Clinical Director supervises and teaches at all these levels.
