Job Description

\n

Staff Specialist | Permanent Full-Time or Fractional | New England / North West NSW

\n

We are looking to appoint a Consultant Paediatrician to Tamworth Rural Referral Hospital — the largest health facility in NSW outside the Sydney–Wollongong–Newcastle corridor, and the key referral centre for much of the state's north-west.

\n

You’ll join an established team in a purpose-built, state-of-the‑art hospital delivering genuine breadth of practice — general paediatrics, neonates and acute care — with a strong educational culture and clear pathways to leadership.

About the service \n

    \n
  • 19-bed Paediatric Unit with 2,600+ admissions annually , caring for infants through to adolescents to age 18
  • \n
  • Full paediatric medical and surgical service, supported by a modern Special Care Nursery
  • \n
  • Level 3 Neonatal Services attached to a Level 4 maternity service — neonatal care makes up more than half of the inpatient workload
  • \n
  • Paediatric team attends all high-risk deliveries; resuscitates, stabilises and manages infants ≥32 weeks / ≥1500g, plus initial stabilisation below these thresholds prior to NETS retrieval
  • \n
  • Close working partnerships with NETS and John Hunter Children's Hospital
  • \n
  • Support from Registrars, JMOs and an experienced multidisciplinary nursing and allied health team
  • \n
  • On‑site 24/7 ED (~45,000 presentations/year, ~30% paediatric) — the only NSW regional trauma centre north of Newcastle, with a locally based helicopter retrieval service
  • \n

What you will need \n

    \n
  • Specialist registration (or eligibility for registration) with AHPRA as a Paediatrician
  • \n
  • FRACP (or equivalent qualification recognised by the RACP for the SIMG pathway)
  • \n
  • Demonstrated clinical experience in general paediatrics and neonatal care
  • \n
  • Commitment to teaching, supervision of trainees and quality improvement
  • \n
  • Current NSW Working With Children Check, immunisation compliance and unrestricted right to work in Australia (visa sponsorship available for suitable SIMG candidates)
  • \n

Remuneration & benefits \n

    \n
  • Base salary $197,583 – $266,942 p.a. (Staff Specialist State Award, 2025 rates), plus:
  • \n
      \n
    • 17.4% Special Allowance
    • \n
    • Private Practice Allowance and Right of Private Practice arrangements
    • \n
    • 12% employer superannuation
    • \n
    • Salary packaging up to $9,010 tax-free + $2,650 meals/entertainment
    • \n
    \n
  • $40,400 annual TESL (Training, Education & Study Leave) entitlement
  • \n
  • 5 weeks annual leave + professional development leave
  • \n
  • Relocation assistance negotiable
  • \n
  • Genuine 1:6 or better on‑call roster (subject to fractional appointment)
  • \n
  • Pathway to Senior Staff Specialist and departmental leadership roles
  • \n

Live and work in Tamworth \n

Tamworth is a thriving regional city of around 50,000, positioned halfway between Sydney and Brisbane and famous as Australia's Country Music Capital — home to the 10-day Tamworth Country Music Festival, the largest of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere. Families relocating from metro areas consistently cite the same drawcards: significantly more affordable housing than Sydney or Newcastle, an easy 10–15 minute commute door‑to‑door, strong public and independent schools, and an award‑winning regional playground and aquatic centre that anchor a genuinely family‑friendly community. Beyond the city itself, you’re on the doorstep of the New England Tablelands, national parks and the Peel River — with two 18‑hole golf courses, riding, mountain biking, fishing and 120+ restaurants and cafés keeping weekends full. Tamworth Airport offers daily flights to Sydney and Brisbane, so a metro getaway is never more than an hour away.
