Better Medical is seeking VR General Practitioners to provide high-quality medical care exclusively to residents in residential aged care facilities, with a structured model designed to support clinical care while reducing the administrative burden.

This is an opportunity for GPs who value continuity of care, meaningful clinical relationships and the opportunity to make a lasting difference in the lives of older Australians.

Whether you’re an experienced Aged Care GP or considering a dedicated transition into residential aged care, Better Medical offers a structured and supported model that allows you to focus on patient care while our experienced teams manage the administrative and operational requirements of the role.

What You Can Expect

• Exclusive focus on residential aged care
• Structured and predictable scheduling with no after-hours or weekend commitments
• Reduced administrative workload with dedicated Better Medical support
• Facilities allocated close to home where possible, helping to minimise travel
• Secure remote access to complete notes and follow-up tasks from home
• Telehealth options where clinically appropriate
• Clinical autonomy with the support of an experienced aged care team

As a VR Aged Care GP with Better Medical, you’ll provide comprehensive and coordinated medical care across a structured group of residential aged care facilities.

Your work may include regular scheduled visits, chronic disease management, medication review, acute illness management, preventive healthcare, dementia care, palliative care and end-of-life care. You’ll work closely with residents, families, nurses, allied health professionals, pharmacists and facility teams to support high-quality, person-centred care.

The model is designed for GPs who enjoy building long-term therapeutic relationships, managing complex patients and providing continuity of care.

A Structured Model That Supports You

Better Medical’s Aged Care model is designed to remove many of the administrative and operational barriers associated with residential aged care.

Our dedicated Administration, Nursing and Management teams support the practical requirements of the role, including clinical documentation, billing, recalls and reminders, care planning, referrals, communication with facilities and families, vaccination processes and GP leave and cover arrangements.

This means you can spend more time focused on clinical decision-making, patient care and developing relationships with residents and their families, rather than managing the administrative workload that sits around aged care medicine.

The model also provides structured processes to support billing efficiency and continuity of care. Participating GPs may be eligible for the General Practice in Aged Care Incentive (GPACI), subject to eligibility and program requirements.

Clinical Variety and Professional Fulfilment

Residential aged care provides the opportunity to develop meaningful long-term relationships with patients while managing a broad range of clinical needs.

The model can support GPs with interests in:

• Geriatric medicine
• Chronic disease management
• Dementia care
• Palliative and end-of-life care
• Preventive healthcare
• Medication management
• Complex care coordination

Regular scheduled visits provide continuity for residents and their families, while allowing you to understand the broader clinical and social needs of the patients in your care.

There may also be opportunities for GPs to maintain or develop an in-clinic patient base alongside their aged care work, depending on individual circumstances and availability.

How Better Medical Supports You

Better Medical is a doctor-led owner and operator of high-quality General Practices and aged care services across Australia.

Our Aged Care GP model provides the structure, resources and support needed to build a sustainable career in residential aged care while maintaining clinical independence.

You’ll have access to:

• Dedicated administration, nursing and management support
• Billing and Medicare administration
• Structured scheduling and facility coordination
• Clinical documentation and care planning support
• Communication support between GPs, facilities and families
• GP leave and clinical cover coordination
• Policies and processes designed to support compliance and reduce administrative and medico-legal risk
• Professional development and clinical collaboration
• Secure remote access for notes and follow-up work

Better Medical currently supports GPs working across residential aged care facilities with a structured model focused on continuity of care, reduced administration and allowing doctors to focus on residents.
