Senior Registrar or Neonatal Fellow

The Opportunity

This is a rare opportunity for a Senior Registrar or Neonatal Fellow to gain exceptional tertiary and quaternary neonatology experience within one of Australia's most comprehensive neonatal networks.

The role offers high-acuity clinical exposure, strong subspecialty supervision and the chance to further develop advanced neonatal skills across multiple specialist environments.

The position is ideally suited to doctors pursuing advanced neonatology training who are seeking depth, complexity and breadth of experience within a highly respected service.

You will be joining a leading Child and Adolescent Health Service delivering specialist neonatal care across multiple tertiary sites within a large metropolitan network.

Neonatal services are provided across two major hospitals and a statewide retrieval service, offering exposure to the full spectrum of neonatal medicine, surgery and transport.

The service supports critically unwell newborns from metropolitan and regional areas and is recognised nationally for its clinical excellence, innovation and teaching culture.

• 
  

  A statewide neonatal retrieval and transport service covering metropolitan, regional and remote areas

  
  

Clinical exposure includes advanced neonatal ventilation, delivery room resuscitation, haemodynamic monitoring, nutrition of extremely preterm infants, and management of complex medical and surgical neonatal conditions.

Opportunities exist to participate in neonatal retrievals by road, helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft, including selected inter-state transfers.

This offers a unique chance to develop skills in neonatal stabilisation, transport medicine and multidisciplinary coordination.

• 
  

  Advanced clinical training and fellowship development
