With a population of over 6,000, Wynyard is a relaxed seaside town situated on the picturesque north-west coast of Tasmania and famous for nearby Table Cape and fields of stunning tulips in spring.

The nearest large town is Burnie, a 15 minute drive away.

The Organisation
Wynyard Medical Centre is a well-established family practice within a spacious and well-appointed building and takes pride in providing a welcoming teaching environment to medical students, nursing students and GP registrars. The practice has full accreditation for RACGP registrars and restricted accreditation for ACRRM registrars.
The medical team currently consists of five full-time GPs supported by a pool of four practice nurses and six administration staff. The practice offers a full suite of services to patients across all age groups, including travel medicine and occupational medicine, and enjoys a large patient catchment across the north-west and west coasts.
A number of specialists provide a visiting service to the practice via video conference, including a neurosurgeon/spinal surgeon, neurologist and psychiatrist. Visiting allied health services comprise an audiometrist, dietitian, physiotherapist and respiratory scientist. Tertiary services are available at North West Regional Hospital in Burnie.
The practice is open from 8am to 8pm Monday to Friday and from 9am to 12pm Saturday to Sunday. To minimise after-hours call-outs, it utilises the after-hours triage service GP Assist. The practice is fully accredited with GPA, fully computerised using Medical Director and PracSoft and offers a mixture of bulk and private billing.
