The Canberra Hospital is the central training site of the rotational scheme. The Canberra Hospital is a modern 600 bed hospital and the major tertiary teaching hospital for the Australian Capital Territory and surrounding NSW region serving a population of 1.0 million. The annual surgical caseload is over 19,000.
Canberra Health Services have positions for 34 Registrars and at least 4 Senior Registrars (Provisional Fellows). The Department of Anaesthesia, Perioperative Medicine and Pain Management at Canberra Health Services provide a comprehensive range of clinical anaesthesia services for all surgical specialties outside of solid organ transplantation and major burns. This includes cardiothoracic surgery, neurosurgery and paediatric surgery along with an active preadmission clinic, and an acute and chronic pain management service.
The hospital has 24 operating theatres (including a dedicated MRI neuroanaesthesia suite) and a 36-bed intensive care unit. The new clinical services building opened in August 2024 and contains state of the art operating theatres. In addition, the Department of Anaesthesia services several out-of-area requirements for general anaesthesia or sedation.
North Canberra Public Hospital is accredited for six Registrars and is the second local hospital included in the training rotation. It is a modern healthcare complex comprising a 174-bed public district general hospital.
Both hospitals are teaching hospitals of the Australian National University (ANU) School of Medicine and Psychology and have strong research links to the John Curtin School of Medical Research at the ANU as well as to the University of Canberra.
