Are you a passionate General Practitioner looking to make a meaningful impact in a unique Primary healthcare setting with no Medicare Billing? This is your chance to travel the country as a Civilian Bench Medical Officer, delivering high-quality care across 45+ Australian Defence Force (ADF) bases.
A "Bench" role is a permanent employee status, so you will accrue sick and annual leave and know each day is a possible availability to be called in to backfill sick leave or planned leave on those days. It is a role rostering/operations use to fill shifts each week where they may have a vacancy, short term sick leave or planned annual leave. It is different to a casual role in the respect you are on the permanent staff and paid as a full time employee whether you fill all of your shift quota of 5 days or not. This does require a fair bit of flexibility and commitment to being available as you would be paid for each day.
