PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What this program offers
A salaried, AOA-accredited 12-month paediatric orthopaedic fellowship across three Sydney institutions. The original AOA profile publishes the clinical scope, AHPRA requirement, faculty, salary, application documents and direct supervisor contact; no fixed application deadline is published.
BENEFITS & SUPPORT
Published benefits and support
Training spans Sydney Children's Hospital, Prince of Wales Private Hospital and Strathfield Private Hospital, with both public tertiary and private operative exposure.
Benefits may depend on appointment type, training level, visa status and the active academic year. OrthoFellow keeps stipend and benefits separate so a salary figure is not mistaken for the full package.
