Candidate Profile Previous experience working in remote areas or with
Aboriginal communities is not essential, providing you are a strong communicator

- Current AHPRA registration with no conditions.
- Fellowship with the Royal Australian College of General
Practitioners (FRACGP) or Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine
(FACRRM).
- Experience in managing emergencies in remote settings and
strong interpersonal skills.
- Understanding of Aboriginal culture and effective
communication skills with Aboriginal people.
You will also require a valid “C” class driver’s licence,
Federal Police Clearance, and a current CPR certificate. Previous experience in
the Aboriginal health sector and familiarity with mmex software is desirable.
