A combination of patient demand and GPs winding down for retirement means that there is a requirement for at least 1 additional GP in this stunning Coastal City in Western Australia.
It is one of 2 modern, well-equipped surgeries owned by 3 GPs. The original practice was established in the early 1950s, and due to patient demand, there are now 2 clinics around 7 km apart.
There are around 20 GPs across both surgeries, supported by the GP owners, management team, industrial health team, qualified nursing staff (there are 3 nurses working at all times), and Allied Health professionals. There is also a Pharmacy, Pathology, and a rehab fitness centre on site.
Opening hours are currently 8 am-5 pm, Mon-Fri. Pre-Covid, the surgery was open on Saturday mornings; however, it is not at present.
There are options for Doctors with special interests. GPs with experience in O&G; or Anaesthetics can admit patients privately and work with the local hospital. GPs interested in Aged Care can support local care homes. If you have these specialties, there is the option to work in OOH on a rota basis, where you will receive a stipend and higher billings. This is optional and not onerous.
There is a focus on early detection and treatment of skin cancer, so GPs with an interest in minor procedures and dermatology can pursue this, along with a demand for Occupational Health services.
The town is large, with 2 hospitals and a diverse patient demographic. The practice has recruited UK GPs, who are happily working there. They pride themselves on their collegiate, supportive, community culture.
This is a mixed billing practice with average earnings around $350k. Some GPs earn more by working additional hours or through their special interests.
- $350k average earning
- 60% billings
- 3-month minimum guarantee
- Accommodation assistance upon arrival
