Mater Mothers' Hospital Neonatal Critical Care Unit is seeking a Neonatal Fellow to join the team on a full-time basis, commencing ASAP until February 2026. Mater Mothers' Hospital South Brisbane is Australia’s largest maternity hospital, caring for over 11,000 births a year.

The NCCU is one of Australia’s largest neonatal units, combining a tertiary perinatal NICU with services typically found in children's hospital NICUs, including pre- and post-operative surgical care, sub-speciality liaison, and pre-operative cardiac care. The Mater NCCU has 42 intensive care cots and 34 special care cots.

The Mater South Brisbane campus is directly adjacent to the Queensland Children’s Hospital, making it a quaternary referral centre for babies with cardiac or surgical conditions, or those requiring sub-speciality input into their care.

You'll work as part of a multidisciplinary team in providing family-centred developmental care to babies in the NCCU, as well as to babies in other areas of the organisation, including outpatient settings.

There will also be opportunities to participate in education, quality improvement, research, and clinical governance activities within the service. You'll be working in the registrar or fellow roster, depending on your level of experience.
