Opportunities exist for General Practitioners to work additional hours in the Townsville Medicare UCC.

Support community healthcare in Townsville! Backed by State and Federal governments, the Townsville Medicare Urgent Care Clinics (UCC) aims to reduce pressure on the hospital system and make it easier for Townsville residents to see a doctor or nurse when they require urgent but not life-threatening care.

Medicare UCCs are GP-led services providing more options for people seeking access to urgent medical care. The Townsville Medicare UCC is open 7 days a week from 11am to 9pm.

The Townsville UCC is accepting expressions of interest from VR GPs who live in the area or those who can commute to Townsville. GPs can continue to meet all existing commitments with their current clinic and pick up additional shifts at the UCC. We want to hear from applicants who thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, preferably with an interest or experience in assessing and treating patients who would normally be triaged in a hospital setting under Category 4 and 5.

Attractive hourly rates are on offer.

• Flexible options – work around existing commitments
• Nursing support    
• Reserved on-site doctor’s parking

GPs expressing interest will be expected to fulfill their existing work commitments with their current clinic.

We welcome the chance to speak with you about this opportunity.
