Job description

VR GPs | Summer Shifts | No Overnight Work

Summer is a busy time at our Bathurst Medicare Urgent Care Clinic, and we’re looking for GPs to help out over the holidays, from December through January. Maybe you’d like a few extra shifts alongside your existing practice, a short block of work, or you’re happy to pick up a public holiday or two. Either way, this one’s worth a read.

So, what’s it like?

Less routine than traditional general practice. Less intensity than ED. More flexibility for you.

You’ll be working in a structured, well-supported clinical environment with established protocols and systems, alongside ED-trained nurses and dedicated admin support. The team is collaborative, and the setup lets you focus on what matters: looking after patients.

On any given shift, you might see:

• Acute illness and minor injuries
• Urgent, non-life-threatening presentations
• Minor procedures and wound management
• Acute assessments and treatment

Summer is when the community needs us most. You’ll be helping people over the holidays and taking pressure off the local ED when it’s at its busiest.

Here’s what you get

• No overnight or on-call shifts
• Flexible summer shifts: pick the days that suit you, any day of the week, regular or ad hoc
• Christmas, New Year and Australia Day shifts available
• No lock-in or exclusivity arrangements, so you can keep your existing GP work and commitments
• Dedicated ED-trained nursing and administrative support
• Step away from traditional practice without moving into a hospital ED environment

Summer in Bathurst?

Bathurst is a great place to spend part of your summer. Work a few shifts, then spend your days off exploring:

A thriving food, cafe and craft beverage scene, plus nearby cellar doors in the Central West wine and food region

Parks and bushwalks, in a friendly regional city with a university-town feel and a relaxed pace of life

It’s an easy way to get work-life balance while still enjoying a full urgent care case mix and professional support.

You’ll need:

• Current, unrestricted AHPRA Specialist Registration (VR GP)
• Current ALS certification (1 or 2)
• ED, Rural VMO or Urgent Care experience
• Demonstrated clinical competency in urgent care settings
