Paediatrician Courses

In Australia, a full time Paediatrician generally earns $3,500 per week ($182,000 annual salary) before tax. This is a median figure for full-time employees and should be considered a guide only. As you gain more experience you can expect a potentially higher salary than people who are new to the industry.

This profession has seen a strong increase in employment numbers in recent years. There are currently 1,700 people working as a Paediatrician in Australia, compared to 1,300 five years ago. Paediatricians may find work across all regions of Australia, particularly larger towns and cities.

If you’re interested in a career as a Paediatrician, consider enrolling in a Bachelor of Medical Studies/Doctor of Medicine. This course covers medical science and clinical placement but also looks at social issues affecting health care. You’ll be able to specialise in a preferred discipline such as general practice, paediatrics, emergency care, psychiatry or surgery.
