Paediatrician - Bacchus Marsh Hospital

Are you a General Paediatrician looking for a varied clinical role in a regional area, but within commuting distance of Melbourne?
Come and join our enthusiastic paediatric team at Bacchus Marsh Hospital on a permanent full-time basis, in a position where you will really have an impact for your patients and the local community.
The General Paediatrician will provide care for neonates on the postnatal ward, and in the 3-bed inpatient special care nursery. The Bacchus Marsh maternity service delivers approximately 600 babies per year and the inpatient SCN currently cares for infants from 37 weeks gestation within a Level 2-3 capability framework.
The unit is serviced 24 hours/day by obstetricians, anaesthetists, and paediatricians. Family-friendly accommodation is provided at Bacchus Marsh free of charge for on-call periods (for those not living in the area).
You'll have the opportunity to help shape the direction of the service as it expands, working collaboratively to develop and implement policies to support a unique regional maternity service within the supportive environment of the nearby tertiary services. There will be opportunity to be involved in developing models of care for the new Melton Hospital for a Paediatrician interested in new service development.
