An excellent chance is available for a Consultant Paediatrician to join a substantial regional health service delivering broad general paediatric care across inpatient, outpatient, neonatal, and community settings.
This role would suit either an experienced Consultant seeking greater autonomy and lifestyle balance, or a newly qualified Fellow looking to step into a supportive and clinically wide-ranging environment with strong senior backing.

- Special Care Nursery support
- Outpatient clinics
- Developmental and community paediatrics exposure
- Shared on-call roster
- Multidisciplinary allied health collaboration
- Teaching opportunities with junior medical staff and students

The hospital continues to invest heavily in workforce growth, service expansion, and regional specialist capability, creating a stable and well-supported consultant environment.

- Additional professional development support




- Strong clinical autonomy with approachable executive leadership
- Collegiate medical workforce with low staff turnover
- IMG-friendly service with established peer support

Lifestyle
Enjoy the advantages of a coastal regional centre offering affordable housing, excellent schooling options, short commutes, and immediate access to outdoor recreation. The area provides a relaxed pace of life while still offering the infrastructure, dining, and connectivity expected of a large regional community.
This setting is particularly attractive for doctors seeking genuine work-life balance without sacrificing clinical exposure or career progression.
