UK CCT & Irish CSCST Specialists Encouraged to Apply | Expedited Specialist Pathway
Your Next Consultant Role Could Change More Than Your Career
Imagine finishing work and being at the beach in 20 minutes.
Having a 10-minute commute instead of an hour.
Owning a spacious family home without paying capital city prices.
Working in a Consultant role where you're valued, supported, and genuinely able to enjoy life outside of medicine.
This is the reality for many specialists who choose regional Western Australia.
Located just one hour from Perth, this opportunity offers the perfect balance between an exciting Consultant career and an exceptional lifestyle. You'll have all the advantages of regional practice while remaining close to one of Australia's most vibrant capital cities.
If you're a UK Consultant Paediatrician with CCT or an Irish Consultant Paediatrician with CSCST (or are due to complete your training soon), this could be one of the best career moves you'll ever make.
Why This Opportunity?
Outstanding Earning Potential
Western Australia offers some of Australia's most competitive specialist remuneration packages.
As a Consultant Paediatrician, you can expect:
• Base salary up to approximately AUD $430,000+ per annum (dependent on experience and award classification)
• Employer superannuation contributions
• Salary packaging benefits
• Annual leave loading
• Professional development funding
• Paid study leave
• Relocation assistance
• Additional earnings through on-call, overtime and other applicable allowances
For many UK and Irish consultants, this represents a significant increase in earning potential while enjoying a far better work-life balance.
Regional Australia Isn't What You Think
One of the biggest misconceptions we hear from UK and Irish doctors is:
"I don't really want to live somewhere remote."
The good news?
Regional doesn't necessarily mean remote.
This hospital is located approximately one hour from Perth, giving you the best of both worlds.
You'll enjoy:
ā Easy access to Perth whenever you want
ā International airport nearby for travel home
ā Excellent schools and childcare
ā Modern shopping centres
ā Beautiful beaches and coastal living
ā Award-winning wineries
ā Cafés, restaurants and local markets
ā Affordable housing compared to Perth and other major Australian cities
ā Commutes that are often less than 15 minutes
Instead of spending hours in traffic, you'll spend your evenings enjoying everything Western Australia has to offer.
Why More Consultants Are Choosing Regional Practice
Many doctors relocate expecting to stay for a couple of years...
...and end up building their careers there.
Why?
Better Consultant Medicine
Regional hospitals often provide broader clinical exposure, greater autonomy and the opportunity to practise across the full scope of General Paediatrics.
More Meaningful Work
Your expertise has a genuine impact on the local community.
You'll quickly become a valued member of an experienced multidisciplinary team where your contribution is recognised.
Better Work-Life Balance
Medicine shouldn't come at the expense of life.
Regional practice offers:
• Short commutes
• More predictable working days
• Time for family
• Outdoor lifestyle
• Lower stress outside work
• Better housing affordability
