We currently have the following vacancies available:
VR General Practitioner
Position Description:
Cygnet Family Practice is seeking a VR GP with a passion for providing high quality, holistic healthcare within a multi-disciplinary team that values care, respect, community, and the environment.
Located in Tasmania’s stunning Huon Valley within 50 minutes’ drive to Hobart, the practice offers the opportunity to practice and maintain your emergency and general practice medical skills.
Cygnet Family Practice is a medium-sized, accredited general practice based on a patient-centred, evidence-based, holistic healthcare model. The team members are skilled, enthusiastic, and genuine in their patient care, and a wide variety of presentations makes for a rewarding and challenging clinical experience. We are a mixed billing practice.
The practice is seeking an additional VR GP with no restrictions to join the team on a full-time/part-time basis.
Clinical expertise in chronic disease management would be an advantage and willingness to train and mentor registrars and medical students. An interest in nutritional medicine would be an advantage.
The general practice is currently open Monday to Friday 8.30am – 5.30pm.
We provide an Urgent and After-Hours Service led by a nurse practitioner and community paramedic on Thursdays, Fridays from 10am until 8.30 pm, and Saturdays from 9am-8.30pm. This service supports our GPs with walk in presentations and prevents the GPs from double bookings and ‘fit ins”.
After hours on other days is covered by Healthdirect Australia, so there is no requirement for on-call.
The township of Cygnet is situated in the beautiful Huon Valley, less than an hour south of Hobart. The eclectic Cygnet community is most welcoming, and passionate about the environment in which they live. The area is a popular tourist destination and Cygnet is a growing community, with a bustling array of lifestyle choices including sailing, sports and music and arts festivals. There is a choice of local public and private schooling from kindergarten to Grade 10.
The practice team are excited about their expansion and vision for future innovative, efficient healthcare, and are keen for the new GP to live in the area and embrace the lifestyle of living and working in a country practice.
