The Organisation

Burnie GP Super Clinic is a privately owned practice located in the suburb of Cooee, on the western edge of Burnie with views over the shores of Bass Strait. Burnie has a population of approximately 20,000 and is the administrative centre for north-western Tasmania. The Burnie region boasts lovely beaches and close proximity to stunning world class wilderness areas whilst being just an hour’s flight from Melbourne.

The practice offers nine modern and well equipped consulting rooms, a procedure room, nurse station with its own waiting area, triage and immunisation rooms and a meeting room/library. Three full-time GPs currently work in the practice, assisted by a pool of nursing staff. The practice also hosts medical and nursing students from the University of Tasmania. Visiting allied health professionals provide services from the practice, pathology and a pharmacy are collocated and there is a community hall on site which can host up to 100 people.

GP Assist is utilised to minimise out-of-hours calls, and the nearest A&E department is a five minute drive away at North West Regional Hospital. The doctors perform regular nursing home visits and home visits as required.

Accredited by GPA and offering a full suite of services, the practice offers a mixture of bulk and private billing and is fully computerised using Best Practice, with remote access available to assist the doctors when doing visits off-site.

Lifestyle in the North West

The North West region of Tasmania is famous worldwide for having some of the most beautiful natural places you can find in Australia. Live in safe and supportive communities close to beautiful coastlines, food trails and breathtaking national parks.

HR+ provide an invaluable service to Practice Managers in Tasmania. Jenny has acted as a mentoring support for me since I commenced at Don Medical Clinic in September 2018, and also supported me through networking events and education during my previous practice manager role in Hobart. Having a mentor like Jenny from HR+ has made a huge difference to me as I find my feet in the challenging world of practice management. I have found the support that HR+ provide, not only with mentoring but also the events put on by the Practice Support team, and the email support networking resources that are regularly provided, are invaluable and I am sure for many other practice managers in the state.
