Located in the charming coastal town of Bowen, this General Practitioner role offers a unique opportunity to practice holistic healthcare and support local Indigenous initiatives. The position involves serving as the primary General Practitioner at a new medical practice owned by the Aboriginal Medical Service, which will provide limited appointments for vulnerable patients initially. The availability of services will increase as the Medical Workforce grows. This local indigenous community organisation also runs a housing co-operative and various health, family support, and employment projects.
The new service will run as a mixed fee-for-service and bulk billing practice with a focus on preventative health care and management of chronic illness. Services will operate from a dedicated facility supported by practice management, reception, and senior aboriginal health workers. The organisation places a strong emphasis on preventative healthcare and the management of chronic illnesses, reflecting its mission to provide comprehensive care to the community.
