To be an effective force the Navy needs all its personnel to be fit and healthy. Doctors (known in the Navy as Medical Officers) are responsible for the general health of all personnel and may become involved in specialist areas such as Emergency Management Severe Trauma, Underwater Medicine and Aviation Medicine.
The type of doctor the Navy is looking for is someone who can practice medicine for a sea going community. We are looking for people who can practice high standards of care under adverse conditions with minimal support. You will serve in a variety of well-equipped facilities in Australia and can also expect to serve at sea.
