About the Royal Children’s Hospital Rotating Registrar Jobs:

The Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH) in Melbourne is a leading provider of specialist public health services for children and adolescents and is the major specialist paediatric hospital in Victoria, caring for children from Tasmania and southern New South Wales as well as other states around Australia and overseas.

Please contact the RCH MWU to discuss the job share arrangements if you would like further clarification.
