Neurology Advanced Trainee (Post-Core / Third Year) Registrar Positions - Alfred Health The Department of Neurology at Alfred Health has two non-core Advanced Trainee (third year) Registrar positions available for 12 months from February 2027. Applications are encouraged from suitably qualified Neurology Advanced Trainees seeking a third year of clinical neurology training. Both are non-core positions, ideally suited to trainees who have completed their core training and wish to consolidate and tailor their clinical experience ahead of fellowship or consultant practice. The two positions are described below. We are recruiting to both roles. Should only one suitable applicant be identified, the Cabrini-based position will be filled preferentially. Position 1: Alfred–Cabrini Neurology Registrar (Cabrini based) Based within the Neurology service at Cabrini Hospital, this role combines inpatient and outpatient neurology with sub‑specialty electrophysiology exposure, and consolidates clinical experience across both private and tertiary public settings. During weekdays the registrar coordinates daily ward activities for admitted Neurology patients and consults (approximately four hours per day), supervises more junior medical staff, and liaises closely with consultant staff. The Cabrini rotation has been accredited for General Neurology training and encompasses inpatient and outpatient neurology, Neuro‑Otology, Neuro‑Ophthalmology, electrophysiology and EEG reporting, with attendance at the Wednesday morning academic meeting at The Alfred. The position carries two Cabrini-based outpatient clinics per week (Neuro‑ophthalmology and Neuro‑Otology), plus two Alfred-based outpatient clinics per week. In keeping with the third‑year focus, the specific Alfred clinics will be mutually negotiated to reflect the trainee's sub‑specialty interests, drawn from the full range of Alfred Brain clinics (General Neurology, Stroke/TIA, Epilepsy, MSNI, Movement Disorders, Headache, Cognitive/CDAMS, Neuromuscular and Neurophysiology). The registrar also participates in the after‑hours and weekend on‑call Neurology/Stroke roster at Alfred Health (1 in 6). Position 2: Alfred Neurology Registrar (Flexible Sub‑specialty, The Alfred based) This is a newly created non‑core position, converted from a core advanced‑trainee role specifically to offer greater flexibility, and is ideally suited to trainees wishing to tailor a third clinical year around their sub‑specialty interests. Based at The Alfred within the Alfred Brain Clinical Program, the registrar works across the department's inpatient and outpatient services and participates in the after‑hours and weekend on‑call Neurology/Stroke roster (1 in 6). The Alfred is a Comprehensive Stroke Centre with 24/7 endovascular thrombectomy and neurosurgical services and offers one of the broadest sub‑specialty mixes in the state. The defining feature of this position is flexibility in clinic selection. Rather than a fixed sub‑specialty assignment, the third‑year registrar will, in consultation with the Director and Deputy Director, build a weekly outpatient and electrophysiology timetable from the department's sub‑specialty clinics according to interest. Available areas include: General Neurology Stroke/TIA Epilepsy (including video‑EEG monitoring) MS & Neuroimmunology Movement Disorders Headache Cognitive/CDAMS Neuromuscular and Neurophysiology (EMG and EEG teaching and reporting) Neuro‑ophthalmology Otoneurology The role includes supervision and teaching of junior medical staff and students, and active participation in the department's weekly educational program (Neurology Grand Rounds, Neuroradiology meeting and Combined Neuroscience Education). The Department maintains a large research and clinical‑trials portfolio, and the successful applicant is encouraged to engage with these opportunities. Eligibility and Enquiries Applicants for either position must have completed core advanced training in Neurology and hold AHPRA registration without conditions.
