Nest Newborn Clinic on the Gold Coast is seeking paediatricians and neonatologists to join our growing service.

Rather than spending years building a private practice or joining a large group with limited referrals, Nest offers the rare opportunity of stepping into a ready-made role that is clinically stimulating, financially rewarding, and designed for family-friendly balance.

Working alongside the founding neonatologist, you’ll care for infants and children in brand-new consulting suites. You’ll inherit a steady stream of newborn families via our structured follow-up pathway and benefit from a strong, expanding obstetric referral base, an experienced practice team, and fully developed private-practice infrastructure.

Key benefits

• Ready-made private practice: Brand-new bespoke consulting suites, modern IT, administrative staff, billing and marketing support.
• Built-in referral base: 400+ newborn families per year handed over at 4 and 6 months, plus scope to grow your own general paediatric caseload.
• Excellent remuneration: Consultant-level earnings ($300k+ pa) while working part-time (0.5 FTE), with strong potential to expand as your paediatric caseload grows.
• Lifestyle-friendly: Limited on-call and inpatient work, protected clinic time, flexible scheduling, built-in cover for leave.
• Modern setting: Gold Coast Private Hospital Level 4 SCN with advanced capabilities and experienced staff, adjacent to Gold Coast University Hospital NICU for tertiary support; scope for work at Pindara Private Hospital with inpatient paediatrics if desired.
• Academic links: Opportunities with Griffith and Bond Universities for teaching, quality improvement and research, if desired.
• Gold Coast lifestyle: 300+ days of sunshine, beaches, hinterland, excellent schools and family amenities.

Essential qualifications

• FRACP (General Paediatrics or Neonatal/Perinatal Medicine) or nearing completion
• AHPRA specialist registration (or eligibility). Interest in newborn/early infant care
• Warm, collegial and family-centred clinical style
• Keen to build a long-term private practice within a supportive, values-driven team
