Statewide paediatric/quaternary service with no geographic catchment. NO PGY1 allocation - interns arrive on secondment from Mater and Metro North/South. But 255 RMO selections at QCH in 2026, so a major JMO employer despite intern_accredited=false.

What r/ausjdocs says about Children's Health Queensland

24 substantive mentions from 17 authors, 2022–2026, hand-read by theme. Community view, not policy; stance splits only at n ≥ 30; a claim under three authors is a single report, not a verdict. Retrieved 12 Sept 2026.

Feeder jobs and streams: 6 authors; 12 tagged sentences; no tally under 30

No claim reached the three-author bar.

More specifically, QCH has some (both JHO and SHO), other hospitals also offer 6 month terms in paeds as a JHO and then these people either apply for BPT or do a dedicated SHO year and then apply.

QCH has a dedicated paed surg sho role which is very good.

A few advantages too: You’re all but guaranteed a paeds term at QCH which is fun; plus they don’t put interns on ward call.

Of the 3 years of BPT, I had 3 terms that were day shifts only, the remainder through BPT were all shift work (that's across QCH and outer metro hospitals).

Hey I’m currently a JHO in QLD (not at QCH) keen to apply for a RMO/SHO rotational role for next year.

QCH always has a big attrition mid year and hires a lot of overseas doctors for August intake.

QCH's exec update today was they have a team looking into staff entitlements (disaster leave, overtime payments) and will report back tomorrow.

I work in regional qld and have colleagues who’ve done their PEM year at Queensland Children’s Hospital in Brisbane post exams while working FACEM locums/casual shifts elsewhere.
