Visiting Medical Officers

A Visiting Medical Officer (VMO) is a specialist doctor who provides services in a public hospital to public patients and who may also practice privately. Unlike a salaried medical officer they are not a hospital employee but an independent contractor.

Visiting Medical Officers may be appointed to any of the medical specialties including anaesthesia, dermatology, emergency medicine, intensive care, obstetrics and gynaecology, ophthalmology, pathology, adult medicine, paediatrics, occupational medicine, public health, rehabilitation medicine, psychiatry, radiology, radiation oncology and surgery.
