Leading Companies & Markets
Currently, medical imaging technologists are in demand in Australia. The most common employment areas for radiographers are in hospitals, both public and private, nursing homes, and in private radiography practices. Both therapeutic and diagnostic radiographers find work mainly within the radiography and imaging departments of hospitals, and in surgeries and clinics.
Environment & Culture
As a radiographer, you will be working in hospitals and clinics. The environment is sterile and precise, expecting you to maintain good hygiene and care in your appearance. Patients need to be able to trust you, and know that they are safe in your hands. Your job requires you to work as part of a team, diagnosing and treating alongside other medical and nursing staff, and health professionals.
Your working hours may include weekends or shift work. It is common in hospitals to be on-call for after-hours emergencies, which require your immediate presence.
