Job description

• This established medical practice, situated in a picturesque and historic town within the Upper Hunter region of New South Wales, is seeking a dedicated General Practitioner for a permanent or locum position. The clinic provides a supportive, GP-led environment where practitioners can exercise full clinical autonomy while focusing on high-quality patient care. The facility is well-equipped with five modern consulting rooms and a fully modernized treatment room, utilizing Best Practice software and HotDoc for efficient patient management.

  The team composition is vibrant and energetic, benefiting from the guidance of seasoned medical practitioners at the management level who are committed to holistic professional growth. Doctors are supported by an experienced nursing and administrative team, with specific assistance available for Chronic Disease Management (CDM) to ensure comprehensive care for the local community. For those looking to advance their careers, the practice offers pathways for supervisor opportunities and clinical leadership. Practitioners are also encouraged to pursue special interests, supported by a culture that values continuing professional development (CPD) and ongoing medical education.

  Financial and personal flexibility are central to this role, which offers a competitive remuneration of 65% to 75% of billings along with a minimum income guarantee. The practice accommodates various lifestyle needs through flexible working arrangements and remote access capabilities. As a DPA/MM4 location, this position is particularly well-suited for doctors seeking to fulfill rural service requirements while enjoying a rewarding clinical environment in a high-need regional area.

  The lifestyle benefits of the Upper Hunter region are significant for those seeking a balance between a professional career and rural charm. Residents can enjoy the town's rich history, characterized by its iconic 1870s railway station, and easy access to outdoor recreation at nearby Lake Glenbawn. The town is well-serviced by public transport and offers quality local school options, making it an ideal setting for families. Located approximately 262 kilometers from the Sydney CBD, the area provides a peaceful, community-focused pace of life without sacrificing accessibility to major regional hubs.
