This is where jobs become careers, passion finds its purpose, and your voice finds its place. Are you ready to dive headfirst into the community taking excellent health care where it's needed? Then South Metropolitan Health Service is the perfect place to start!
Peel Health Campus is a general hospital located in the City of Mandurah, 75 km south of Perth on the doorstep of the south-west, known for its stunning beaches, internationally significant wetlands, and some of Australia’s most spectacular waterways for boating, fishing and wildlife. It originally opened in 1988 as the 32-bed Mandurah District Hospital, and now operates with 206 licenced beds, bays and treatment areas. Transitioning the hospital to public hands paves the way for the hospital’s redevelopment and service transformation to meet the needs of the Peel-Murray region.
SMHS delivers quality, safe and effective hospital and health services within a catchment area stretching more than 3300 square kilometres across the southern half of Perth.
Our vision is Excellent health care, every time. You can read more about SMHS in our Strategic Plan here.
The Medical Co-Director works in partnership with the Nursing Co-Director to provide effective leadership, governance, strategic planning and operational management of the clinical stream within the Directorate and supports all staff within the Directorate to provide high-quality and efficient patient care, consistent with the Hospital’s safety, quality and performance frameworks.
As part of the Executive team the Medical Co-Director will provide clinical and corporate governance within Peel Health Campus.

SMHS encourages Aboriginal people, people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds or LGBTI communities, and people with disability to work with us.
