GP/VMO Needed in Smithton — Where Rural Practice Meets Real Impact (and Real Rewards)

Looking for a role where your skills are valued, your income is solid, and your patients genuinely appreciate you?

Welcome to Smithton, Tasmania's best-kept rural secret—nestled in lush farmland, close to rugged coastlines, and home to a community that knows the value of a good doctor (and isn't afraid to say thank you).

The Opportunity

We're on the lookout for an experienced Rural General Practitioner (VMO) to join our busy, well-supported practice and provide VMO services at Smithton District Hospital. With capacity for 7 full-time GP VMOs, you'll be joining a solid team that shares the load (and the on-call). Expect variety, autonomy, and the kind of medicine that keeps your brain engaged.

The hospital features:

  • 12 acute care beds
  • Emergency department
  • Midwifery clinic
  • Visiting specialists (you won't be alone out here)

The Perks

We don't just offer a great job—we back it with serious benefits:

  • $1,200/day VMO rate
  • Boost your earnings with a 1:4 to 1:6 VMO roster
  • MMM5 & DPA location = moratorium reduction + training eligibility
  • X-ray training provided (yep, we'll teach you to read the pics)
  • Car, accommodation, and relocation support
  • Eligible for RVTS, ACRRM IP, GPRIP, and Procedural Grants
  • Support from Allied Health and RNs (care plans, immunisations, women's health—you won't be doing it solo)

You'll Need

  • General or Vocational Registration with AHPRA
  • Experience managing a broad scope of GP presentations
  • A current emergency medicine certificate (ALS2, REST or equivalent)
  • Recent unsupervised experience in an emergency setting

Why Smithton?

Aside from the unbeatable local produce (the cheese the seafood), this is a town where work-life balance isn't just a pitch—it's how people live.

Enjoy flexible hours, genuine professional autonomy, and the chance to make a real difference while still having time for the things you love.
