Our mission is to deliver sustainable healthcare tailored to evolving community and workforce needs. We strive to enhance services and careers, providing quality healthcare to rural and regional communities.

Joining Grampians Health means being part of a diverse team, with a variety of career opportunities in acute, maternity, mental health, allied health, aged care and support services.

About the role:

Grampians Health Ballarat has a 20-bed Paediatric & Adolescent Unit and a 10-bed Level 4 Special Care Nursery.

We also operate a Paediatric Day Medical Unit (embedded within the Paediatric Ward) and noncomplex general, orthopaedic and ENT surgical services for children.

We have 24-hour on-site staffing from Paediatric Residents and Registrars, as well as 24-hour on-call Paediatric consultant staffing provided by Paediatric VMO specialists, as well as extensive public and private paediatric outpatient services.

We have had a single paediatric Registrar position become available in the second half of this year: Second 6 months (Aug '24- Feb '25) x 1 position.

This position is accredited through the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (Paediatrics) for Advanced Training in General Paediatrics (General Paediatrics with a perinatal component; Rural/regional training).

Although suitable for Advanced Trainees in Paediatrics, the position is well supported and would be suitable as an unaccredited Paediatric Registrar position.

This position is a full-time 1.0 EFT position.

Successful applicants will work on a rotating roster alongside six other Paediatric Advanced trainees, with broad exposure to both inpatient and outpatient paediatric and neonatal medicine.

The position includes a requirement for 1 night on call most weeks and 1 weekend in 7 (with 24-hour consultant support provided).
