Locum VR GP - RFDS Broken Hill, NSW

• $1500 paid daily, inclusive of super
• Travel, car and accommodation support
• 2 weeks minimum and returning locums preferred

The Opportunity

RFDS Broken Hill has current locum requirements at various stages across this year, with 2 weeks minimum cover required and a preference for those able to return on multiple occasions. Initially you will be based within the main clinic in Broken Hill clinic itself, and for those then able to return there may be the possibility to assist with one of the outreach or bush clinics as well. The main GP clinic is a mixed billing service and working here initially will allow you to become familiar with full services offered, patients they service and the referral pathways as well. This primary clinic uses Best Practice software and is open from 9am – 5pm Monday to Thursday and 8.30am – 16.30pm on Friday. There is a balanced patient load being seen and appointments varying from 15 – 30+ minutes dependent on the patient’s needs.

When outreach and network clinic cover is involved this may involve flying or driving out to the clinics which offer only booked appointments and no walk-ins. For some clinics they have associations with the local health network and are staffed by nurses, whilst for others you may travel with a practice nurse to help run the clinic.

$1500 is paid daily plus travel, car and accommodation support provided. 2 weeks is the minimum required and ideally they hope for those who can return to assist the service on numerous occasions. There is an interview process to follow which we can discuss further. Additional credentialing requirements include a NSW WWCC, stat dec form and full immunisation evidence.
