Doctor Wanted: Escape the Grind & Practice Medicine in Paradise

Looking for a sea change and a tree change? How about dolphins and wallabies? Join a tight-knit, legendary team on Flinders Island—where your commute involves more coastline than concrete, and the locals genuinely want to shout you a coffee for being their GP.

About the Practice:

Our well-established medical centre is the healthcare heartbeat of Flinders Island—the largest of the Furneaux Group of islands, situated peacefully between Tasmania and mainland Australia. We cover everything from coughs and colds to emergency care and inpatient services (with a view, of course). It’s a true Rural Generalist dream, backed by a passionate, supportive team.

Why Flinders Island?

Aside from having no traffic lights:

·       Nature is your neighbour: Rugged granite peaks, white sand beaches, and zero crowds.

·       Real community spirit: You’ll be known by name (and probably get fresh veggies from a grateful patient).

·       Work-life balance: Surf in the morning, consult by lunch, hike after work. Repeat.

The Roster You’ve Been Dreaming About:

Starting January 2026, we’re offering a 2 weeks on / 2 weeks off arrangement. That’s right—work half the year and still make a real impact (and income).

This flexible FIFO-style schedule is perfect for GPs who want to blend meaningful rural work with a seriously good lifestyle.

Perks That Pack a Punch:

Flinders Island is part of Tasmania’s initiative to attract legends like you:

·       $100K GP Incentive Package over 5 years—because you deserve it.

·       Relocation assistance to get you and your gear across the Bass Strait.

·       Accommodation and car provided

·       GP NOW Rapid Response Team—ongoing rural GP support, not just a wave goodbye.

·       $2000 site visit grant available

The Role:

This isn’t just another GP job. You’ll be a local hero, delivering:

·       Full-spectrum GP care

·       Emergency and inpatient services (with great backup)

·       Community health initiatives that actually make a difference

·       Team-based care, with people who have your back

What We’re Looking For:

·       Vocational Registration (FRACGP or FACRRM) or eligibility for Rural Generalist training

·       Strong experience in emergency/inpatient care

·       Clear communicator with a love for community-focused care

·       A team player
