GP - Tasmanian Family Medical

Tasmanian Family Medical

Popular group practice on Tasmania's north-west coast with an emphasis on preventative health and mental health.

The Position

Tasmanian Family Medical (incorporating Southside Family Medical (Burnie)) is seeking a full-time vocationally registered General Practitioner with no restrictions to join them in their impressive renovated premises in Burnie, north-west Tasmania. Whilst providing the full suite of general practice services, this practice has a special focus on preventative health and mental health. Experience and an interest in treating mental health conditions is desirable although not essential.

And what a great location! The former Australian Pulp and Paper administrative building is a spacious heritage-listed Art Deco classic with uninterrupted views of the bay across the road. Not only that, but it shares a carpark with Bunnings, which provides excellent exposure and access.

With a population of around 20,000 and the administrative hub for Tasmania’s north-west coast, Burnie provides something for everyone. Apart from offering mouth-watering produce and an active arts community, it is within easy reach of magnificent Wilderness World Heritage Area parks and reserves, yet just an hour’s flight from Melbourne for that big city fix.

Skills and Experience required:

• Registered, or eligible for registration, with the Medical Board of Australia
• Previous GP experience

The Organisation

Tasmanian Family Medical opened in 2017 and has built up to 10 doctors, supported by a practice manager, practice nurses, admin and reception staff. The practice offers the full range of GP services, including immunisations, travel medicine and sports medicine. Onsite services include pathology, psychology, relaxation, sports & remedial massage, social work, orthotics & prosthetics, cosmetic aesthetics and specialist services in urology, endocrinology, nephrology, cardiology and general surgery.

A&E facilities are available nearby at Burnie’s North West Regional Hospital and after hours needs are triaged by the national healthdirect service with necessary further help sought from GP Assist. Nursing home and home visits are conducted as required.

The medical complex takes up two floors of this large building, with numerous generously proportioned consultation rooms (some with a sea view, all with natural light), treatment rooms and facilities for teaching and conferences. Resources include brand new high specification diagnostic and procedural equipment. The practice operates a predominantly private billing model and is fully computerised using Best Practice.

The practice is accredited by AGPAL. It is also accredited to train senior RACGP and ACRRM registrars, and by University of Tasmania to host medical students.
