PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What this program offers
A Perth hip-and-knee arthroplasty fellowship covering primary, revision, navigation, robotics, arthroscopy, trauma and teaching. The host currently confirms the programme and supervisors but has filled the February 2029 placement; 2030 applications are not yet open and the stipend remains historical.
BENEFITS & SUPPORT
Published benefits and support
Current host page describes approximately seven joint-replacement, arthroscopy and trauma cases per week as primary surgeon depending on assessed ability, plus teaching of registrars and junior doctors
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.
