We are seeking a General Practitioner (GP) who is passionate about community medicine to join Omega Health Medical Centre in Cairns.

The role

Omega Health Medical Centre is a community-focused centre that has been providing medical care to the local community and surrounding areas since 2011. We pride ourselves on providing quality health care to the Cairns community and we’re looking for a GP with the same passion to join the team and support their high patient volume.

Located in tropical Cairns in Far North Queensland, the private billing centre is open Monday to Friday and offers Sunday work, if interested. The centre has excellent facilities including 11 doctor consult rooms, a four-bay treatment room, and dedicated procedure room. We provide an extensive administrative team so you can focus on practicing medicine and your practice will be supported by our full-time nurses who are trained in all treatment room and CDM duties.

You’ll be joining a collegial team of 11 doctors who have special interests in skin cancer medicine, family medicine, and Indigenous health. The team have a strong focus on Indigenous health and offer medical care and advocacy to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients.

Omega Health Medical Centre is in a DPA approved location, suitable for International Medical Graduates. The centre is also a training practice and welcomes Registrars each semester. This is a great opportunity for any doctor interested in becoming a GP Supervisor and passing on their knowledge and skillset to future doctors.
