Job description

An exciting opportunity is available for a VR General Practitioner to join a growing national network of Urgent Care Centres, with a Melbourne base location and the option to provide FIFO/DIDO coverage across other sites if desired.

This role is ideal for GPs who enjoy procedural medicine, acute presentations and working in a fast-paced environment outside of the traditional general practice model. Opportunities are available on a permanent basis, with a minimum commitment of 24 hours per week and flexibility to increase hours based on your availability.

Doctors will manage predominantly Category 3-5 presentations and should be confident assessing and treating a broad range of urgent care cases.

The Practice

You’ll be joining a well-supported multidisciplinary team where the typical clinical model includes:

• 1 GP supported by an experienced Registered Nurse
• Dedicated triage and administrative support
• Modern facilities with access to onsite imaging services where available
• Higher-volume centres may have overlapping GP coverage when required
• Internal credentialing team providing support with onboarding and compliance

Operating hours generally run from 8:00am to 10:00pm, with shifts commonly split between daytime and afternoon/evening coverage. Applicants must be comfortable working afternoon and evening shifts.

The Benefits

• Hourly rates between $200-$275 per hour, depending on location and commitment
• Melbourne base with optional FIFO/DIDO opportunities across the network
• Minimum 24-hour permanent contract with additional hours available
• Flexible rosters to suit your availability
• Work within a collaborative urgent care model with excellent nursing support
• Opportunity to expand your procedural and acute care skills
• Comprehensive in-house credentialing and onboarding support
• Doctors under 19AB/Moratorium are encouraged to apply, with suitable DPA opportunities available

The Location

Base yourself in Melbourne while enjoying the flexibility to work across a network of metropolitan and regional Urgent Care Centres if desired. This role offers the opportunity to diversify your clinical experience while maintaining excellent work-life balance and premium hourly rates.

The Criteria

To be considered, you will have:

• Current Specialist Registration with AHPRA (FRACGP or FACRRM)
• Confidence managing urgent care presentations independently
• Experience in fracture management, wound management and reviewing X-rays
• A collaborative approach to working alongside nursing staff
• Advanced Life Support (ALS) certification, or willingness to obtain within three months
• Flexibility to work afternoon/evening shifts
• Interest in optional FIFO/DIDO work is highly regarded but not essential
