Job description

We're partnering with a well-regarded Darwin practice looking for a Podiatrist to join their team. The role suits clinicians who want breadth in their caseload, autonomy in their day, and a genuine lifestyle change - without giving up professional standards or support.

You'll be working across a patient mix you simply don't see in metro clinics: general biomechanics and routine care alongside high-risk diabetic foot management, wound care, and Indigenous health presentations. It's the kind of caseload that fast-tracks a career.

Why Darwin, why this role

• Clinical breadth - a caseload that develops you two to three years faster than an equivalent metro role
• Real lifestyle - 10-15 minute commutes, boat ramps 20 minutes from the clinic, and 30°C in July
• Financial upside - the NT government's remote-area tax offsets and lower cost of living stretch a salary meaningfully further
• Supportive team - you're not the only clinician; there's a multidisciplinary team around you and structured mentoring if you need it
• Modern clinic - current equipment, current software, none of the "make do" you might expect of a remote role

What The Day Looks Like

• Comprehensive assessments, diagnoses and evidence-based treatment planning across a broad caseload
• Routine podiatry care - nail and callus management, general biomechanics, footwear advice
• High-complexity work - diabetic and high-risk foot assessments, wound care, offloading
• Orthotic prescription, fitting, and rehabilitation program design
• Patient education with a strong preventive-health focus
• Accurate clinical documentation aligned with AHPRA standards
• Participation in case reviews and team development

Who We're Looking For

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Podiatry
• Current General Registration with the Podiatry Board of Australia (AHPRA)
• New graduates are genuinely welcome - structured mentoring and clinical supervision provided
• Cultural awareness and a respectful, patient-centred approach - you'll work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients as part of the everyday caseload
• Working with Children Check, National Police Check, and NDIS Worker Screening (or willingness to obtain)
• The temperament for a bit of adventure - Darwin rewards clinicians who lean into it

What's On Offer

• Competitive base salary + superannuation, structured to reflect the location and your experience
• Relocation support available for the right candidate
• Generous CPD allowance and dedicated study leave
• Access to Zone A remote-area tax offsets (talk to your accountant - they're meaningful)
• Modern clinic, high-quality equipment, and clinical software you'll actually enjoy using
• Flexible rostering and a genuine 4- or 5-day work week
• A clear career pathway with real clinical autonomy from day one
