We’re supporting Alyangula Primary Health Care Centre which provides essential medical services to island residents - including the Anindilyakwa people, local families and workers across surrounding communities.
This is a three-week opportunity for an experienced GP who is confident working in remote settings and values delivering comprehensive, community-based care.
The Community – Groote Eylandt
Groote Eylandt sits in the Gulf of Carpentaria, around two hours by air from Darwin. There is no road access - arrival is by flight into Alyangula Airport.
Life here is remote, coastal and community-focused.
Expect:
Stunning beaches and tropical landscapes
World-class fishing and wildlife
A close-knit island community
A slower pace outside clinic hours
Alyangula itself is a small but well-serviced town with supermarket, café, recreation facilities and waterfront accommodation.
The Clinic
Alyangula Primary Health Care Centre is a government-run remote primary care service, delivering:
Comprehensive general practice
Acute and urgent care presentations
Chronic disease management
Preventative and community health
