About Ochre:

Ochre Health is a leading national network of over 70 medical centres, supporting 450+ doctors with industry-leading technology, dedicated marketing, and a collaborative culture. At Ochre Medical Centre Smithton, you’ll join a supportive team of GPs and fantastic nurses in a town where the commute involves the cleanest air in the world and views of the iconic Nut at Stanley.

 

Why Smithton?

  • The Tarkine Wilderness: Explore one of the world's last great wild places. Think ancient cool-temperate rainforests, the mystical Trowutta Arch, and the hidden sinkholes of Dismal Swamp.
  • Iconic Landmarks: You’re just 15 minutes from Stanley and "The Nut"—a massive volcanic plug with panoramic views of the Bass Strait.
  • The "Edge of the World": Visit Arthur River to stand at the edge of the Southern Ocean, where the next landfall to the west is South America.
  • A Foodie’s Dream: Famous for Tarkine Fresh Oysters, Cape Grim beef, and world-class dairy. If you love paddock-to-plate, this is your paradise.
  • Adventure Awaits: Whether it's world-class surfing at Marrawah, 4WD tours through the wilderness, or teeing off at the local golf club, your weekends will never be "ordinary."

The Perks:

  • Top-Tier Earnings: In-clinic earnings up to $380k + $145k/year daily VMO rate.
  • Relocation & Lifestyle: A generous House & Car package (valued at $60k).
  • Government Incentives: MMM5 & DPA location—eligible for moratorium reductions and the $100k Tasmanian Government incentive.
  • Professional Growth: X-ray training provided onsite.
  • Eligibility for RVTS/ACRRM Independent Pathways.
  • The Roster: Commitment is just one day per week and one weekend per month (1:4 to 1:6 rotation), ensuring a genuine work-life balance.

Skills & Experience

  • Fellowship: FRACGP or FACRRM (or progressing toward it).
  • Emergency Savvy: Confidence in ED settings (ALS2/REST preferred).
  • Spirit: A community-minded approach and a genuine love for the great outdoors.

Smithton is renowned for its strong community spirit and genuine appreciation for its local doctors. If you are looking for a rewarding career move that offers a true "work-life adventure" in one of Australia’s most pristine locations, we would love to hear from you.
