Bothwell Doctors

Seeking a part-time rural GP to join the tight-knit team at Bothwell Doctors. Nestled in the enchanting Tasmanian Central Highlands and a pleasant forty-minute drive from Hobart’s most northern suburbs, don’t miss this opportunity to practice rural general practice and be supported by a network of caring, experienced practitioners.

The Position

As a Rural General Practitioner at Bothwell Doctors, you will have the opportunity to become an integral part of the Central Highlands community through the provision of comprehensive medical care to patients of all ages.

There is high burden of chronic disease in the community, which is well supported through on-site and telehealth nursing support, and robust practice systems. Further support is provided via the team at Bothwell Doctors’ sister practice, Brighton Regional Doctors. Both practices are owned and operated by one GP Principal, a model that offers both practical support in the form of leave cover, as well as emotional support via its larger group of GPs.

This is a permanent, part-time position, two days per week. There is the option to work additional days at Brighton Regional Doctors, should full-time work be desired.

Minimum requirements:

• Registered, or eligible for registration, with the Medical Board of Australia
• Previous GP experience
• VR GP or GP working towards VR having received a “substantially comparable” assessment from the RACGP.

Enjoy the job satisfaction that flows from utilising the breadth of general practice to meet the diverse needs of the appreciative local residents, farmers, local industry employees, and nature enthusiasts.
