General Practitioner (VR GP) – Newcastle, NSW (DPA position)

The Practice

Due to a long-term doctor retiring, this private billing clinic is looking for a GP to take over the established patient list and be part of a team that provides high quality healthcare. The practice is well set up featuring 18 consulting rooms and two procedure rooms. The existing team of 15 other doctors, 14 GPs and an O&G specialist, are fully booked, with the majority having their books closed.

The practice provides their GPs with personal assistants, full-time nurse support, a practice manager and reception and admin staff and is very supportive of special interests.

The practice is happy to provide Permanent Residency visa sponsorship and relocation assistance and in addition to the usual billings also offers a rewards programme for their doctors.

Practice opening hours are 8:30am to 5:30pm Monday to Friday and 8:30am to 12:30pm Saturday mornings which are shared on a non-onerous roster of one in eight, so each doctor covers one Saturday morning every two months or so. For GPs who would like to boost their billings with a little after-hours work, the practice can offer the option to work on Wednesday evening 6pm to 8:30pm.

This clinic prides itself in their happy team atmosphere, which is proven by their incredibly low staff turnover. Wavelength has had the pleasure of helping two GP from the UK join this clinic more than 10 years ago, who are both still there and providing lovely feedback.

Situated in a friendly village shopping strip in a higher socio-economic area, this purpose-built practice has all the facilities you’ll need including a staff kitchen and bathroom, pharmacy and pathology on site, as well as a lovely café downstairs so you can enjoy your cappuccino or latte during your breaks.
