About the role

We are seeking a motivated Paediatric Registrar to join our team from February 2027 for 6-12 months. This is a full time inpatient-based role offering broad clinical exposure, structured teaching, and excellent supervision. While there may be some flexibility to discuss alternative hours, the role operates on a six-week rotating roster, with different shift patterns each week, including night shifts. As such, the position may not readily accommodate a regular part-time arrangement on set days, unless a suitable job-share arrangement can be established

- Participate in evening and night shifts as part of a 1:6 roster
- Access dedicated weekly teaching and protected non-clinical time
- Benefit from excellent clinical supervision, with two inpatient paediatricians on site during business hours to support trainees and oversee inpatient care
- Train within a service accredited for RACP Advanced Training in General Paediatrics, covering both PREP and the new curriculum
- Gain additional clinical exposure through developmental and rapid review outpatient clinics as part of the rotation

Key responsibilities

- Deliver supervised clinical care in inpatient settings, including patient assessment, investigation, management, and discharge planning
- Participate in paediatric inpatient care, including admission assessments, daily ward reviews, care coordination, and liaison with families and carers




- Support continuity of care through referral management, multidisciplinary collaboration, and coordination with community healthcare providers and external teams
- Provide clinical input for acute presentations, attend emergency consultations, and assist with the assessment and management of patients requiring hospital admission

What we’re looking for

- Registration as a Medical Practitioner in Australia
- Demonstrated experience in inpatient paediatric care, including patient assessment, clinical management, and discharge planning
- Minimum of six months’ experience in neonatal care
- Effective communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to collaborate across multidisciplinary teams and coordinate care with families and external healthcare providers
- Commitment to high-quality clinical care, patient safety, and professional standards

Barwon Health will only contact you via our official email and never use unconventional means, such as text messaging or other services.

- Excellent working conditions and a strong sense of job satisfaction
- A vibrant staff wellbeing program and access to our 24/7 Employee Assistance Program
- Attractive salary packaging benefits
- Living expenses capped at $9,010
- Meals and entertainment capped at $2,650
