Queensland

Specialist Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon Dr Dilip Gahankari invites a Fellow Plastic Surgeon to join Advanced Aesthetics, his well-established Gold Coast practice. The position offers flexibility and can be shaped to suit the right candidate.

The opportunity
This is a chance to step into an established practice rather than build from scratch. The incoming surgeon will enjoy a healthy balance of reconstructive, cosmetic and skin surgery, alongside a mature referral network, immediate operational support, and the freedom to shape their own clinical profile, case mix and operating commitments. Arrangements can be tailored to suit the candidate's goals and will be discussed confidentially.

The practice
Built over more than 22 years of consistent surgical practice, Advanced Aesthetics holds a strong reputation across plastic, reconstructive, cosmetic and skin cancer surgery. The clinic welcomes more than 400 new patients each year and operates across accredited private hospitals on the Gold Coast.
An experienced multidisciplinary team, practice management, a patient coordination team, registered nurses and qualified dermal clinicians support a full service offering. Alongside surgical work, the practice provides comprehensive skin health and non-surgical services, including in-room procedures, cosmetic facial treatments, laser therapies and skin rejuvenation. The practice is equipped with advanced laser and light technology to support high-quality patient care.

The candidate
Applicants must hold, or be eligible to obtain, Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (FRACS) in Plastic Surgery and be eligible for private hospital accreditation. Surgeons at any career stage are warmly welcomed.

The location
The Gold Coast pairs an established medical community with an exceptional lifestyle — world-class beaches, excellent schools, and Brisbane just an hour north.
