Job Details

Graduate, Undergraduate

The RAAF has on-site radiography services at our three Expeditionary Health Squadrons located at RAAF Base Amberley, QLD (1 Expeditionary Health Squadron), RAAF base Williamtown, NSW (2 Expeditionary Health Squadron) and RAAF Base Richmond, NSW, (3 Expeditionary Health Squadron). Radiography services are also provided at our two Air Transportable Health Squadrons located at Amberley and Williamtown. Radiographers are responsible for providing radiography services at one of these locations.

A radiographic capability is also a component of RAAF Operational Health Support facilities providing medical imaging services during major ADF exercises and deployments away from fixed facilities. As a RAAF radiographer, you may also be required to support the Royal Australian Navy Primary Casualty Receiving Facility and participate in tri-service and multi-national operational and peacekeeping deployments.

Radiography departments have modern, well-maintained equipment and facilities, including portable ultrasound units and mobile image intensifiers in some locations. Radiological support is arranged through contract with civilian providers, although the Medical Imaging Consultative Group, a tri-service group composed of Reservist and full-time ADF members, provides advice on matters affecting the provision of radiography in the ADF. There may be some after-hours work.
