Bayside Health is a public health service delivering high-quality care across every stage of life for close to 1.2 million people living in metropolitan Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula, Koo Wee Rup, Bass Coast and Southern Gippsland.

More than 22,000 dedicated staff are focused on providing exceptional, equitable, and locally connected care through shared expertise, compassion, and a commitment to continuous growth. Education and training are central to staff development as we encourage all employees to strive and thrive. Bayside Health was formed following the merger of Alfred Health, Bass Coast Health, Gippsland Southern Health Service, Kooweerup Regional Health Service and Peninsula Health on 1 January 2026.

This is one year part time or full time fellowship in Cardiac Pacing (2x 0.5 FTE or 1x 1.0 FTE). There are up to two positions available.

This exciting position offers training in all aspects of pacing (bradycardia, cardiac resynchronisation, defibrillator, subcutaneous defibrillator, leadless and conduction system). The Alfred is one of the highest volume CRM device implanting public hospital in Australia. There are daily implantation lists. The individual will be expected to lead research and quality improvement in their year at the Alfred. It is expected that the candidate achieve international accreditation in CRM device programming by the end of the year (CCDS, EHRA or HRUK). The candidate will also be responsible in preparing patients for device implant, teaching advanced trainees on the wards and participating in the outpatient clinic. There will be an expectation of supporting an Alfred affiliated regional clinic every fortnight.

Preference will be given to candidates who may want to persue a higher research degree in cardiac pacing.
