The Opportunity

This locum opportunity involves working in a region with an Indigenous population of around 5,000, where the clinic serves approximately one-fifth of the population.

Patients are initially seen by Aboriginal Health Clinicians, who then refer them to the GP for further assessment, treatment, health checks, and management of the Chronic Disease Management (CDM) program, GP care plans, and skin checks.

Outside of working in the main clinic, once a fortnight you will need to visit the Ringer Soak community for 1 day. Flying out and covering the hours of 8am – 3pm, there is 1 GP, 2 nurses and an AHW providing support.
