Job description

Get your clinical autonomy back, with full hospital integration. Latitude Recruitment is proud to be partnered exclusively with Swan Hill District Health to find dedicated, Fellowed General Practitioners (FRACGP / FACRRM) for permanent positions. If you’re a Vocationally Registered (VR) GP who is tired of the 10-minute medicine cycle in metropolitan corporate clinics, this is the change you’ve been looking for. This role lets you use the full breadth of your training in a community where your skills make a difference every day. Quick note for Registrars: While we’re primarily looking for Fellowed VR GPs, the team has kept one spot open for a GPT 3 or 4 Registrar or Non-Fully Fellowed Rural Generalist who is ready to step into a highly supportive training environment. You’ll get the perfect mix of private practice clinic work alongside meaningful inpatient and emergency responsibilities at the hospital. If you want variety in your medicine, respect from your peers and a great team behind you, Swan Hill is your next step.

Why This Position Beats a Standard City GP Role

• A broad, engaging scope: Work across both the hospital and the clinic, and maintain or build on your skills in emergency medicine, inpatient care, obstetrics or anaesthetics.
• Excellent earning potential: Retain 70% of billings in a busy, high-demand practice with a full patient load from day one.
• Supervision incentives for VR GPs: Earn substantial financial incentives for mentoring registrars and medical students through Swan Hill’s dedicated Monash University rural teaching hub.
• Exam-ready setup for Registrars: If you take the single Level 3 spot, you’ll get direct, high-quality mentorship from senior consultants to make sure you’re fully prepared for your exams.
• Full DPA & MM5 status: Ideal for IMGs bound by Section 19AB. You can tick off your moratorium requirements quickly while earning city-level income.
• Relocation that actually helps: A fully tailored relocation package, including help finding local housing, so you can settle in without the stress.

About the Location & Lifestyle

Right on the banks of the Murray River, Swan Hill offers a Mediterranean climate, brilliant local food and wine, good schools and an easygoing lifestyle. Skip the city traffic, enjoy a much lower cost of living and get your weekends back.

What You Bring

• Specialist AHPRA Registration as a General Practitioner (FRACGP or FACRRM preferred)
• Alternatively, General or Limited AHPRA Registration with Level 3 Registrar standing on a recognised pathway (for our one available spot)
• A real enjoyment of community medicine and a collaborative attitude
• An interest in teaching or mentoring (which is highly rewarded here for Fellowed GPs)
