The work environment is friendly and relaxed with good consultant cover and 3 hours of dedicated paediatric teaching per week. The clinical exposure is broad, with emergencies, retrievals and interhospital transfers, general paediatrics, infectious diseases, special care nursery and neonatal resuscitation commonly encountered. We commonly care for patients on our ward who would probably be admitted to a paediatric ICU elsewhere.

We are always looking to recruit registrars in paediatrics to commence late January or occasionally late July of each year, generally for at least 12 months. The roster is 1:5 to 1:6 with excellent consultant cover. We have had registrars here complete RACP approved terms in community, rural, acute and infectious diseases paediatrics.

We have 6 paediatric registrars, 4 RMOs, and 5 consultants

This is a unique opportunity due to the diversity and severity of paediatric illness in central Australia, combined with an excellent team and resources.
