Private practice, with a team around youPaeds Plus is looking for general and developmental paediatricians for opportunities across our established Currambine practice and our planned Claremont clinic in Perth.

You do the medicine. We run the business.

We bring paediatricians, GPs, psychiatry and allied health together around children and their families. Our existing team includes seven paediatricians, with occupational therapy, speech pathology and dietetics alongside medical care. We believe positive paediatric care comes from clinicians working together, supported by people and systems that make their working day easier.

Help shape what comes next in Claremont

We’re developing a purpose-designed multidisciplinary hub in Claremont, bringing paediatric medical care and allied health together in a setting designed around children, families and the clinicians who care for them.

Our vision is one front door for families, from birth through the school years: connected assessment, diagnosis and ongoing care, with clinicians able to work closely together and families better supported through each stage.





The planned clinic includes consultation, therapy and sensory-assessment spaces. We want an setting that feels welcoming to children and practical for the people working there, with space for collaboration, learning and a growing range of clinical interests.

For joining paediatricians, this is an opportunity to contribute early: help shape care pathways, bring ideas for services, develop your clinical interests and build a team that shares your commitment to high-quality care. You’ll have a voice in how the practice develops and how we work together.

Claremont is targeting a July 2027 opening, subject to funding and delivery. We welcome conversations about joining Currambine now or becoming part of the Claremont team as it develops.
