Be Part of a Major Service Expansion. Forensicare, Victoria's statewide forensic mental health service, is travelling to London in September 2026 to meet experienced Consultant Psychiatrists interested in building their career in Australia. Whether you're already considering a move overseas or simply exploring your options, this is an opportunity to meet our clinical leaders, learn about life in Melbourne, and interview in person while we're in the UK.

Influence the development of new services Shape contemporary models of care Lead multidisciplinary teams Develop specialist forensic psychiatry expertise Contribute to service innovation, education and research

More than 2,000 hours of sunshine each year Beaches, wine regions and national parks on your doorstep World-class sporting and cultural events Easy access to New Zealand, Asia and the Pacific A highly regarded public healthcare system Many clinicians relocate for the professional opportunities and stay for the lifestyle.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
