Practice Information

UQ Gatton Medical Centre is a university-based general practice operated by UQ Health Care, providing primary healthcare services to current University of Queensland students and staff, as well as dependants of international students.

The practice operates as a group general practice, with General Practitioners supported by nursing and administrative/reception staff. Services include general medical consultations, preventative health, women's and men's health, sexual health, mental health support, immunisations, travel medicine, skin checks, minor illness and injury care, health assessments, referrals and prescription services. The clinic also provides Q Fever screening and vaccination programs for eligible students and staff.

Consultations are bulk billed for patients with a current Medicare card. International students with Allianz OSHC have eligible GP consultations billed directly to Allianz. Patients with other private health or OSHC providers may be required to pay at the time of consultation and claim their rebate from their insurer. Certain services, including occupational/work-related medicals, Q Fever services and some vaccinations, may incur a fee.

The practice is located on the UQ Gatton campus and primarily services the university community rather than operating as a general community practice.

Position Description

UQ Gatton Medical Centre is seeking a GP who can work 1-2 days per week and offers flexibility enabling autonomy without being locked into a typical GP contract.

The clinic does not operate weekends, evenings or public holidays, and the seasonal nature of campus life means GPs experience a balance in demand. The team takes advantage of this flexibility to make space for family commitments, school holiday leave and professional development.

As a not-for-profit organisation, UQ Health Care offers a guaranteed hourly rate and excellent salary packaging benefits.
