Brisbane, Queensland, Australia South West Hospital and Health Service Full time
Senior Medical Officer (General Practitioner or Rural Generalist)

South West Hospital and Health Service are seeking a Senior Medical Officer to live and work in a unique part of Australia, contributing to the health and wellbeing of the local community while supporting the sustainability of the workforce and clinical services.

Your opportunity

Provide evidence-based, high-quality critical care across all areas of medical practice, including patient interviews, clinical examinations, identification of clinical issues and health opportunities, developing comprehensive care and health promotion plans, focusing on chronic disease management with team-based care and key performance indicators to reduce community disease burden, maintaining clear and accurate patient records, and delivering out-of-hours care during nights and weekends.

The very nature of what we do and who we are is the real opportunity. Providing health care in the bush is full of challenges, however, it remains the most rewarding of human experiences.

If you are looking for a sea change, you might find your home away from home in the outback town of Cunnamulla. Surfing the sand dunes, relaxing in the artesian springs nearby, having a mudbath at Eulo, exploring national parks and fishing the Warrego river are all on the agenda in this red dirt outback escape.

What We Can Do For You

Ultimately, we provide you a platform to leapfrog your career with more opportunities to experience a wider scope of practice with less competition due to location and population. Nowhere else will you experience the vast diversity of medical and career advancement other than in rural and remote Queensland.

  • Top remuneration packages matched to your experience
  • Relocation assistance and temporary accommodation negotiable
  • Make a positive difference to members of our community
