What r/ausjdocs says about Central Adelaide Local Health Network

59 substantive mentions from 45 authors, 2022–2026, hand-read by theme. Community view, not policy; stance splits only at n ≥ 30; a claim under three authors is a single report, not a verdict. Retrieved 12 Sept 2026.

Feeder jobs and streams: 12 authors; 16 tagged sentences; no tally under 30

No claim reached the three-author bar.

I also have had the experience of being 100 week pregnant (35 weeks actually) as a registrar and when I asked to sit down for a few minutes doing a 4 hour Saturday morning consulting trek around the RAH, the elbow-patch wearing consultant told me that maybe I wasn’t cut out for my specialty.

She told the committee that at the time of the big move there was a belief within the Central Adelaide Local Health Network, which managed the hospital, that there would be direct admissions to the wards, an easy way of getting patients in and then out of ED.

Best health network in SA unless you want massive subspec exposure IMO then go CALHN.

No claim reached the three-author bar.

However, Dr Brooks, the former director of the ED at the Royal Adelaide Hospital (RAH), went before MPs to offer a deeper insight into the realities that would be almost comic if the consequences were not so tragic.

Also 80% are here against their will because they actually applied for CALHN/SALHN.

I've worked at the RAH ED - it's a great place to work.

CALHN and SALHN are generally considered to have better BPT teaching and higher exam pass rates, but in recent years have also heard good things about NALHN.
