Employment

Doctors

Our Medical Centre has doctors at all stages of their career. This has included young doctors in their first term of specialty general practice training to doctors in their late 70s providing valuable locum services as they transition to retirement. We have employed doctors of many nationalities including Australian, South African, Bangladesh, Iranian, English, Indian, Philippines, Ugandan, Chinese, Canadian and USA.

Our practice is rich in interesting medical conditions and provides a true generalist Family Physician experience. We provide ongoing training within our practice and encourage all our doctors to attend conferences on a regular basis. Our doctors are expected to join our afterhours roster which involves some evening and weekend on call work which is divided evenly among our doctors.

Our practice is well supported by the local hospital and by specialists based in Townsville. We have a visiting cardiologist, renal physician and orthopedic surgeon. We work in a team care model with nurses, diabetic educator, dietitian, and sonographer all working from our practice. Our doctors have varied work arrangements including full time, part time, and working one week each month. Should you wish to join our team please contact our practice manager.
