Rural Generalist Trainee RGT1 - SRGT2 - Remuneration Package Range $143,910 - $187,006
Medical Services Population and Primary Health Care Branch
Darwin
Several full time vacancies fixed from 02/02/2026 for up to 12 months are available.
This placement is based out of Darwin, working remote for 3-4 days and returning to Darwin for Fridays and weekends.
Population & Primary Health Care (PPHC), Medical Services covers a large geographic area. It provides a wide range of primary care services, with our medical team servicing remote Aboriginal communities in the Top End Region, NT. We have up to 11 registrar positions, and we are seeking enthusiastic registrars to join our dynamic team in 2026.
This placement is based out of Darwin, and each registrar has their own community they service, along with their experienced supervisors and Primary care team, which includes Remote Area Nurses (RANs), Aboriginal Health Practitioners (AHPs) and other allied health staff. Some registrars visit 2 different smaller communities. Registrars usually spend 3-4 days remote returning to Darwin for Fridays and weekends. There is no on call or after hours, although travel days can be long. For registrars who stay overnight some (usually larger) communities accommodate this, otherwise communities are visited on daytrips via plane, ferry or road. Overnight accommodation is available in Wurrumiyanga, Pirlangimpi, Milikapiti, & Wadeye, as well as (if required) Palumpa, Daly River, Adelaide River and Batchelor. Day trips occur to Belyuen (via ferry) and Peppimenarti (plane).
Registrars have an excellent education program with 2 hours each Friday morning. The first hour is for all the medical team, including Rural Medical Practitioners (RMPs)/Rural Generalists (RGs) and Duty Medical Officers (DMOs). The second hour is dedicated GPR/RMO education (if your roster requires you to be in Community on a Friday you can dial in via TEAMs). Sessions focus on relevant topics & interesting cases seen during the week & are facilitated by an experienced Medical Educator.
For those doing Rural Generalist training we offer advanced skills (ARST/AST) in Aboriginal Health, Remote Health and Population Health, working closely with Menzies and other external providers for projects. All communities are MMM 6 or 7. For those needing “rural time” for their training, each day is counted as rural i.e. 4 days remote = 0.8FTE rural.
As a Northern Territory Government employee you receive competitive remuneration, as well as access to:
- Generous Allowances as per NT EBA (See Information Sheet for details)
