Monash Children's Hospital is looking for a paediatric neurologist for 12 months from October 2025.
This position offers an opportunity for both newly qualified consultants looking to consolidate their practice and experienced specialists seeking a supportive environment. You'll join a collaborative team with flexible work arrangements, access to a broad case mix, and the space to pursue subspecialty interests --all while enjoying Melbourne's vibrant lifestyle. We are flexible, and would be happy to discuss shorter periods in the role or other arrangements, and would consider someone without the formal designation but close to subspecialist recognition. This role allows you to grow professionally while maintaining a healthy work -life balance.
Our service provides comprehensive care across epilepsy, neuromuscular disorders, paediatric stroke, neuroimmunology, neurogenetics, nerve conduction studies and EMG, and long-term EEG monitoring. The role involves inpatient and outpatient care, participation in the on-call roster and contribution to multidisciplinary clinics, teaching, and service development.
Whether you are keen to develop expertise, expand academic and teaching experience, or simply enjoy practicing with supportive colleagues, this position offers the chance to thrive.
