The opportunity

Our client, a privately owned family practice, is looking for a locum GP provide cover from January 30th onwards on a 2 week minimum basis. The locum will work from Monday to Friday, 0800AM to 0500PM with no on call, after hours or weekend work. This is a well-supported practice with highly experienced nurses, a practice manager and a range of allied health visits such as podiatrists, dietician, audiologist and optometrist. Unfortunately the permanent GP has recently finished up so this clinic is looking for urgent cover.

The clinic uses Best Practice software and is mixed billing due to around 65% of presentations being in those over 70 and 10% being indigenous health. Standard appointment times are 15 minutes but can be longer if required.
