GP – CHINCHILLA, QLD
Chinchilla Medical Practice is currently looking for General Practitioners to join their busy medical centre.
Located roughly 300km west of Brisbane, this friendly community holds the title of The Melon Capital of Australia and hosts a fun Melon Festival every year.
The medical centre has a great team, and its popularity means there is currently a waiting list of patients for at least two GPs, so expect to be busy!
This position is a fantastic opportunity to be at a medical where GP’s have so much knowledge, experience and most importantly, want to pass their valuable knowledge onto other general practitioners.
The medical centre moved to its present location within the Chinchilla Medical Centre opposite the water tower in May 1991 and expanded from 5 to 9 doctor’s rooms in November 2009. The church previously on the site was retained, incorporating the modern architect-designed Medical Centre. The building also includes Chinchilla Pharmacy, Physiotherapy and Sullivan and Nicolaides blood collection rooms.
The Practice is a Distribution Priority Area and Area of Need for OTD. The patient base is mixed, including retirees as well as young families. The practice offers a combination of bulk and private billing and a wide range of services at the facility, including computerised radiography. They have visiting specialists and on-site pathology. To view the services provided, visit the website on https://chinchillamedicalpractice.com.au/our-services/
Chinchilla Medical Centre is a mixed billing practice. A guaranteed amount of $ 120 per hour plus GST for the first 12 weeks or 65% of receipts (whichever is the greater). The candidate must have AHPRA registration and at least three years of medical work experience as a General Practitioner.
The practice has nine consulting rooms and a large nursing area which helps deal with any emergencies. The practice systems are computerised using Best Practice software.
The team comprises a Practice Manager and office administrator, three receptionists and three Registered Nurses who share one full-time position. The practice is accredited through AGPAL, conforming to the RACGP 5th Standards.
The doctors are well supported, with modern and well-maintained medical equipment. Most importantly, they have a vibrant team of staff members who provide friendly, efficient and compassionate care towards all of their patients with a commitment to ongoing education and training.
They are looking for General Practitioners who value small-town life but with the prospect of being very busy. They have a waiting list of patients for at least two GP’s so you will not have to build your practice, in fact exactly the opposite. The owners and staff are very supportive, and as a general practitioner, you would be welcomed into this small community where Chinchilla values country life and living.
Please send an Expression of Interest and your resume to Nicky Jardine – Practice Manager pm@chinmedi.com.au with your AHPRA registration.
