Want to live and work in Australia’s most affordable and prosperous state capital? With the cost-of-living crisis enveloping the east coast of Australia, why not contemplate a complete sea change and consider moving to and working as a Rheumatologist in beautiful Adelaide? A wonderful environment to bring up a young family, affordable accommodation and schooling and surrounded by parklands, Adelaide is truly outstanding. RheumatologySA was set up by Simon and Barb Burnet 20 years ago and has been a centre of Adelaide Private Practice Rheumatology excellence for this period of time. We have 5 clinic rooms, onsite staff parking, onsite pathology services and St Andrews Private Hospital 2 minutes walking distance. We use Genie software, Dragon dictation and AI software for letter generation. Our philosophy has always been to be flexible and family friendly and we are always happy to discuss flexible rostering. Our Rheumatologists also visit regional areas such as Angaston, Crystal Brook, Naracoorte and Mount Gambier and there would be the possibility to be involved if interested. Several of the Rheumatologists are involved in teaching the private practice public rheumatology registrar at RheumatologySA also. We have regular peer-review meetings and discuss difficult and interesting cases. We arrange cover within our team whilst others are away. There is also the opportunity to login to the public hospital clinical case and radiology meetings. There has been the opportunity to apply for public hospital Rheumatology sessions also recently in South Australia. We are looking forward to hosting the 2025 ARA Annual Conference in May in Adelaide and would be delighted to catch up and show you the rooms and answer any questions. If you are ready for an amazing life change, then Adelaide is ready to welcome you!
