King Island - GP VMO

• Two world-class golf courses(Cape Wickham & Ocean Dunes)
• Surfing, fishing, hiking, and wildlife watching
• A thriving food scene — known for seafood, cheese, and beef

About the Role (aka Your New Adventure): King Island:

At Ochre Medical Centre King Island, you’ll split your time between our well-equipped general practice and King Island Hospital next door. The island community (just over 1,400 folks) is tight-knit, grateful, and low on drama.

You’ll be supported by another GP VMO, visiting Allied Health, helpful Registered Nurses, and junior docs from the John Flynn Program who bring their enthusiasm (and usually, snacks). Plus, we’ve got the tech to match: modern equipment, cloud-based software, and secure systems — because rural medicine should still feel like 2025.

The Good Stuff:

• FIFO option available (though you may never want to leave)
• Guaranteed daily rate for VMO on-call + percentage of billings
• Tier 1 hospital – ATS CAT 1–5 patients
• House and car provided – island life made easy
• MMM7 = triple bulk billing incentives, WIP payments, HELP-FEE forgiveness
• $10,000 relocation grant via The People Project
• Cloud-based Best Practice software – fast, secure, and reliable
• Work with John Flynn junior doctors (future GP legends in training)
• Play 10 rounds per year on us at Cape Wickham or Ocean Dunes – two of the world’s top golf courses
• Over 95% of patients would recommend the practice to friends – and island gossip travels fast, so that’s saying something

What You’ll Need:

• General or Vocational Registration with AHPRA
• Current Emergency Cert (ALS2 or equivalent)
• A healthy appreciation for ocean views, excellent cheese, and the odd curious wallaby

Island Life Perks:

King Island is remote — but never boring.

Between the epic surf, peaceful beaches, legendary beef and dairy, and the fact you can actually see the stars at night – this place is the real deal.

• Go fishing before clinic
• Tee off on two of the world’s best golf courses
• Eat some of the best steak in the country (seriously)
• Hike, breathe, relax – repeat

Tourists come and go, but you could be part of something more lasting. Less traffic. More meaning.
