A GP Opportunity with a Difference
Kimberley Aboriginal Medical Services (KAMS) has a highly
rewarding opportunity for a dedicated General Practitioner to join their team in
Kutjungka (Balgo, Billiluna, Mulan) WA.
Supporting the remote clinics within the Kutjungka Region
(Balgo, Mulan and Billiluna) of WA, you will have the opportunity to work on as
a:
- FIFO basis (working 4 weeks on, 8 weeks off), living in a
modern, furnished unit in the Balgo Community.
These are hands-on, highly varied roles that will see you
working as part of a multidisciplinary remote clinic team to deliver
comprehensive primary health care services to Aboriginal or Torres Strait
Islander clients and families.
Services are delivered with the "bigger picture" view in
mind, and you'll be responsible for spending time providing holistic care to
patients within remote clinics and supporting the wider communities, with a
small portion of your work also involving emergency medicine.
To be successful, you will be a fully qualified General
Practitioner who has, or is eligible for, full registration with AHPRA.
Applications are encouraged from both experienced or recently qualified GPs,
with significant support structures in place for those who have just finished
their vocational training years.
Previous experience working in remote areas or with
Aboriginal communities is not essential, providing you are a strong communicator
and team player, willing to work within remote Aboriginal communities and able
to provide care to patients in a culturally appropriate manner.
Not typical GP clinics, it is imperative that you can work
effectively within KAMS's pre-existing structures of governance as part of a
multidisciplinary team of Doctors, Aboriginal Health Workers, Registered Nurses,
Health Promotion Workers, and a variety of Allied Health
Professionals.
Be Rewarded
These are highly varied and rewarding opportunities to
provide a wide variety of vital healthcare services to remote Indigenous
communities and help "Close the Gap" in Aboriginal health.
Kimberley Aboriginal Medical Services is an organisation
that truly values its team, and is committed to improving employee knowledge,
skills and experience.
For your hard work and dedication, you will be rewarded with
a competitive base salary package circa $307,595 (pro-rata), plus super and an
availability and call-out payment at 25% of your base salary.
KAMS offers a fantastic work/life balance and you would also
have access to the following additional benefits, including:
- Modern fully-furnished accommodation for your time spent
out in remote clinics;
- 25% Casual Loading pro rata
- Medical Indemnity provided
For someone with an interest in Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander health, this is a fantastic opportunity to be part of Aboriginal health
self-determination in remote communities.
