Locum Roles & Dates Available

Fitzroy Crossing – GP Community

➞ Mon 30/08/21 – Fri 01/10/21

➞ Mon 01/11/21 – 28/01/22

This role requires a medical practitioner with extensive generalist experience, able to demonstrate significant primary health care knowledge and skills.

It enables a wide scope of clinical practice in Indigenous health while working closely within a supportive team of friendly staff. This position is an exciting opportunity for anyone passionate about primary health care.

As part of the medical team in Fitzroy Valley, remote community visits are part of your week. Many find this opportunity a mixture of exciting, satisfying and challenging.

Regardless of expectations, these medical visits are essential to the health and well-being of the people of the Fitzroy Valley.

Fitzroy Crossing town comprises less than half the population of the Valley. The remainder is spread around surrounding communities.

Communities are often based on family groups or language groups. There are four language groups in the Valley.

Bunaba (traditional owners), Gooniyandi (river people), Wangkatjunka & Walmarjarri (desert people). The population throughout is very transient but greatly assisted by computerised medical records (Communicare).

Dampier Peninsular & community (via Broome) - GP outreach
➞ Wed 29/12/21 – Fri 07/01/2022

Based in Broome, the practitioner will fly to the Dampier Peninsula Monday morning and stay out for 2-3 nights (in accommodation), providing four days of GP clinics across Lombadina and One Arm Point communities. Day 5 back is worked in Broome for administrative follow-up.

This role, in partnership with another GP, is a Monday to Friday full-time GP outreach work only position– no weekends, no evenings and no on-call. Flexibility will be required due to the fly in fly out or drive in drive out nature of this unique role.

The Benefits

★ $1950 per day

★ $1000 per day self-isolation allowance for a maximum of 10 days for a senior doctor for a return of service of a minimum of 4 weeks post-self-isolation

★ Plus a maximum of $1000 per week towards accommodation assistance whilst self-isolating

★ Accommodation provided whilst working – 2 x bedrooms with 1 x ensuite air-conditioned residence supplied

★ Vehicle provided
