Introducing Perth Children’s Hospital’s 2026 registrar appointments
We are proud to welcome Dr Jemma Hogan, left, and Dr Anja Hohls
Perth Children’s Hospital (PCH) has appointed two highly accomplished clinicians to key leadership roles for 2026, strengthening medical leadership, education and clinical excellence across the organisation.
Dr Jemma Hogan has been awarded the role of PCH Chief Registrar for 2026.
Bringing a unique blend of advanced clinical training and medical administration expertise, Dr Hogan has undertaken dual training in general paediatrics and medical administration.
Dr Hogan has completed fellowship examinations for both colleges while continuing her clinical work in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit as she finalises her advanced paediatric training.
An Adjunct Clinical Lecturer at Curtin University, she also holds dual Master’s degrees in Health Management and Public Health (with Excellence) from the University of New South Wales and completed the Australian Institute of Company Directors certification in 2024.
Beyond her clinical and academic work, Dr Hogan contributes to the community as a Board Director at Kiind, a Western Australian not for profit supporting families of children with disabilities.
Her professional interests span medical leadership, doctors’ wellbeing, medical education and workforce planning – areas she hopes to advance during her tenure as Chief Registrar.
“I’m honoured to take on this role and work closely with teams across the hospital.”
“Supporting our doctors to feel equipped, valued and engaged ultimately strengthens the care we deliver”, shared Dr Hogan.
Joining her in a key leadership position is Dr Anja Hohls, who has been appointed Medical Education Registrar for 2026.
Dr Hohls recently completed advanced training in general paediatrics and continues advanced training in community child health.
Her diverse clinical experience spans health networks across New South Wales, Queensland, the Northern Territory and Western Australia, and she continues to work clinically within the Department of General Paediatrics.
Driven by a commitment to health equity, Dr Hohls completed a Master of Public Health at the University of New South Wales in 2019.
She has a strong interest in junior medical officer wellbeing, medical education and strengthening health systems to better support children and families.
Dr Hohls said she is eager to contribute to the professional development of medical staff and help enhance the learning environment at PCH.
“Supporting junior doctors and ensuring they feel valued, prepared and empowered is central to high-quality paediatric care,” she said.
“I’m excited to work with teams across the hospital to enhance education and wellbeing initiatives.”
Both clinicians bring extensive expertise, passion and leadership to their new roles.
All of us at PCH are looking forward to the impact Dr Hogan and Dr Hohls will make throughout 2026 as they support medical staff and continue advancing paediatric care in Western Australia.
