Paediatric clinicians at Peninsula University Hospital (PUH) manage patients with a diverse range of presentations and the expanding population means that this is an increasingly busy unit. Clinicians also oversee a busy Level 4 SCN and engage in community and/or outpatient clinics. A range of on-site Paediatric subspecialty clinician access is also available. The Acute Paediatrician is part of a agile acute on-call team that responds to and attends deliveries including theatre and referrals from the Emergency Department. A Paediatric Emergency Department is scheduled to be opened in 2026.

As part of the ongoing expansion of Paediatric services at Peninsula University Hospital (Frankston), the opportunity currently exists for Paediatric Neonatologist Consultant(s) to join a rapidly growing team.





These individuals should be interested in the opportunity to build services in their subspecialty going forward.
