The General Practice operates Monday to Friday and has mobile x-ray and visiting allied health specialists come to town.

The Location

Lightning Ridge may be remote but it is a thriving mining town filled hundreds of obsessed diggers hoping to find the famous black opal. Situated nearby the NSW and QLD border, it is 4 hours' from Dubbo Airport and known for its wildly eccentric and sometimes bizarre experiences. Stop by a glass house made from bottles, visit the iron church or walk around the local castle. And it doesn’t stop there, keep cool and stroll through and an underground museum where the art is carved into the stone walls. Lightning Ridge has some of the most unique experiences you won't find anywhere else.

Essential Criteria

You must be a vocationally registered GP (FRACGP or FACRRM) with recent rural emergency experience and a current ALS2 (or equivalent) certificate.
