Description

Join an established and growing private paediatric practice

Paeds Plus is seeking experienced Consultant General Paediatricians from across Australia and New Zealand to join our expanding multidisciplinary team.

Based in Currambine, Perth, Paeds Plus is an established private paediatric healthcare organisation with consistent year-on-year growth and a 100% medical staff retention rate.

We are progressing towards opening a second location in Claremont, Perth, targeted for July 2027. Claremont is planned to be one of the largest private paediatric services in Western Australia, with expanded specialist paediatric services and a full allied health line-up.

We offer the opportunity to practise broad general paediatric medicine while developing or expanding your clinical interests in ADHD, autism and other neurodevelopmental conditions.

The clinical opportunity

We are seeking a well-rounded General Paediatrician, not simply an ADHD assessment clinician.

Your practice may include general paediatric presentations, infant and feeding concerns, growth and nutrition, asthma, gastrointestinal conditions, chronic medical conditions, ADHD, autism, learning and developmental difficulties, and complex presentations requiring multidisciplinary management.

We value evidence-based practice, continuity of care and professional collaboration.

Option 1 Permanent salaried employment

$395,000–$512,500 AUD indicative salary per annum FTE, plus statutory superannuation

• Permanent full-time and part-time opportunities
• Applicable employee leave and employment entitlements
• Established clinical infrastructure and administration support
• Remuneration negotiated according to experience and agreed responsibilities

Retain 60–65% of billings under an individually negotiated service-fee arrangement.

• FRACP in Paediatrics and Child Health, or an appropriate equivalent qualification
• Specialist registration with Ahpra, or eligibility to obtain registration
• Broad general paediatric clinical experience
• Willingness to include ADHD assessment and management in your caseload (training and supervision provided)
• Interest in autism and neurodevelopmental conditions
• Excellent communication skills and a commitment to family-centred care

Applicants from New Zealand welcome

We encourage applications from New Zealand-based specialists considering a move to Western Australia, and welcome confidential discussions about Australian registration pathways, working arrangements and relocation timing.

Help shape the next chapter of private paediatric healthcare in Western Australia.
