Nest Newborn & Children's Clinics - Southport QLD

Love paediatrics, but wish you had more time with each family? Nest Children's opens on the Gold Coast in early 2027, and we're looking for paediatricians to join our small founding team - part-time and flexibly, alongside whatever else you do.

Nest is a family-owned practice, started by Anand and Alyssa Ramineni – a neonatologist and a paediatric nurse, and parents of three. Our newborn service cares for families from before birth through the first months at home, at Mater Mothers' Private Gold Coast. Nest Children's carries that care into infancy and childhood, so families can stay with a team they already know.

We're a small team who genuinely enjoy working together: two neonatologists, a neonatal nurse practitioner and a paediatric nurse, now joined by a small group of paediatricians. You'd have colleagues to talk cases through with, shared notes and support, and the chance to help shape a new service from the very start.

What you'd do

- Developmental and behavioural paediatrics - assessment and care across development and behaviour, including autism (ASD) and ADHD, with unhurried 60-minute assessments and a planned follow-up.
- General paediatrics - the everyday breadth of childhood health, with real continuity for families who've been with us since birth.
- Whole-child care - sleep, nutrition, activity and family life built into every plan, alongside thoughtful medical care.
- Some newborn follow-up - 4- and 8-month consults for babies from our newborn service.




- A light share of newborn on-call and some elective caesarean attendance at Mater Mothers' Private Gold Coast, always with a neonatologist second-on. There's no inpatient general paediatrics, and all babies are handed over to our neonatologists.

About you

- FRACP (General Paediatrics), or nearing completion, with AHPRA specialist registration or eligibility.
- Warm and family-centred, and you enjoy looking at the whole child rather than just the presenting problem.
- An interest in developmental and behavioural paediatrics, general paediatrics, or both.
- Probably working elsewhere already – in hospital, public or private – and looking for some private work that feels like a good fit.

What we offer

- Adaptable, part-time hours - 0.2-0.4 FTE, built around your other commitments, with protected clinic time and leave cover.
- Time to practise well - 45- and 60- minute appointments, so you're never rushing a family.
- Supplementary income - an estimated $100-200k+ a year, growing with your caseload. We're happy to walk you through our modelling.
- The admin taken care of - our practice team looks after bookings, billing, Medicare claims and family communication, so you can focus on the families in front of you.
- Beautiful, purpose-built rooms at RDX Lumina, right next door to Mater Private Hospital Gold Coast, in the Gold Coast Health & Knowledge Precinct.
- Teaching and research links with Bond University and the University of Queensland, if that interests you.
