The Opportunity

We are working closely with one of the largest regional health services between Sydney and Melbourne and are keen to connect with FRACP-qualified Paediatricians interested in full-time opportunities within a well-established and expanding paediatric service.

The department delivers comprehensive inpatient, newborn and outpatient paediatric care across a broad regional catchment. Consultants practise within a structured, consultant-led model with strong multidisciplinary support.

This role will appeal to Paediatricians seeking scale, stability and the opportunity to practise within a substantial regional referral centre.

• Emergency Department paediatric presentations
• Regional referral and outreach responsibilities
• Close integration with ICU, Anaesthetics and Obstetrics

The service is undergoing major redevelopment, including expansion of Emergency and short-stay facilities, strengthening overall paediatric and acute care capability.

Why Consider This Role

• Major regional referral centre
• Large and diverse catchment
• Significant redevelopment investment
• Broad general paediatric scope
• Strong MDT structure
• Substantially comparable pathway supported

For interstate or international applicants, the RACP specialist assessment and AHPRA registration pathway can be clearly structured and supported.

The Location

Based in a vibrant regional city on the NSW/VIC border, the area offers riverside parklands, strong schooling options and direct transport links to Melbourne and Sydney. The lifestyle combines space, affordability and metropolitan connectivity.

Requirements
