Job description

Endocrinologist | Telehealth | Australia Wide

Flexible Telehealth Consulting | Established Clinical and Administrative Support | Work From Anywhere in Australia

Access Telehealth is expanding our national specialist network and is seeking Endocrinologists to provide Telehealth consultations to patients across Australia, with a significant focus on people living in Residential Aged Care.

This is a flexible opportunity designed to complement your existing clinical practice. Consult remotely, determine your availability and focus on clinical care while our team manages the coordination around you.

Why Join Access Telehealth?

Our model has demonstrated 51% fewer Emergency Department presentations and 37% fewer unplanned hospital admissions across an internal retrospective audit of 679 residents across 11 Residential Aged Care Homes.

Focus on medicine, not administration

Our clinical and operations teams coordinate appointments, patient connection and consultation support, allowing you to focus on assessment, clinical decision making and recommendations.

Make specialist care more accessible

For older Australians living in Residential Aged Care, attending an external specialist appointment can be difficult. Our model brings specialist expertise directly into the resident's home through Telehealth, reducing barriers to timely care.

Work as part of the resident's broader clinical team

You won't be consulting in isolation. Residents are supported through a GP led multidisciplinary model involving Access Nurses, geriatricians, specialist physicians and other healthcare providers, with shared care planning and ongoing GP oversight.

Flexible around your existing commitments

Consult remotely from anywhere in Australia and nominate availability that works alongside your hospital, private practice, research or other professional commitments.

Continuity, not one off consultations

Where clinically appropriate, residents can continue seeing the same specialist for follow up consultations, supporting greater familiarity and continuity of care.

The Opportunity

As an Access Telehealth Endocrinologist, you'll provide specialist consultations and follow ups through our purpose built Telehealth model.

Your caseload may include patients requiring assessment and management across areas such as:

• Diabetes and medication optimisation
• Osteoporosis and bone health
• Thyroid disorders
• Metabolic and endocrine conditions
• Other non urgent endocrine presentations within your scope of practice

For our Residential Aged Care patients, these presentations often sit within a broader picture of multimorbidity, polypharmacy, frailty and changing clinical needs.

Our model is designed around early intervention and coordinated care. Residents receive proactive chronic disease, falls and bone health, medication and other clinical reviews, with specialist expertise incorporated when required.

Following consultation, your recommendations are communicated back to the resident's GP and care team so ongoing care can be coordinated locally.

How It Works

The resident's clinician provides a specialist referral.

We coordinate the rest.

Our team arranges the appointment and prepares the resident for their consultation. For residents within our aged care model, an Access Aged Care Nurse supports the Telehealth consultation on site. Family members or support people can also participate where appropriate.

You provide the specialist assessment and recommendations remotely, and we help ensure the resident's GP and care team have the information required to continue their care.

About You

We're interested in hearing from Endocrinologists who value collaborative care and want to make specialist expertise more accessible.

You'll have:

• Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians in Endocrinology, or equivalent recognised specialist qualification
• Specialist registration with AHPRA, or eligibility to obtain it
• You must be able to bill through Medicare
• Confidence managing a broad range of endocrine presentations
• Strong clinical judgement and the ability to provide clear, practical recommendations
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• A collaborative approach to working with GPs, nurses and other clinicians
• Confidence using technology to deliver high quality clinical care remotely

Experience in aged care or geriatric medicine is highly regarded, but not essential. Endocrinologists with an interest in diabetes in older adults, osteoporosis, bone health, multimorbidity or complex chronic disease are particularly encouraged to apply.

About Access Telehealth

Access Telehealth connects Australians with healthcare regardless of where they live.

Through Access Aged Care, our clinicians work within a coordinated model designed to identify health concerns earlier, improve access to specialist expertise and reduce unnecessary transfers to hospital.

Specialists work alongside residents' GPs, Access Nurses and care teams rather than operating as a separate service. Telehealth enables residents to access specialist expertise from their aged care home when clinically appropriate.
