Paediatrics opportunities in Australia and New
Zealand exist at all levels including consultant
specialist, registrar and resident (SHO).
The practice of Paediatrics in Australia and
New Zealand is very similar to that in any other
westernised country such as the UK or Ireland.
Although Paediatric subspecialisation exists
for most of the larger hospitals, some hospitals
still employ general paediatricians.
Due to the sheer size and low population of
Australia, most states have a single Children's
Hospital which see most of the paediatric
admissions but there are still some general
hospitals which see both Adults and Children.
In New Zealand, almost all of the hospitals are
general adult and paediatric hospitals and each
would have a regional referral centre for complex
cases or for the regional PICU.
