Description

If you’re looking for a role where your clinical expertise makes a lasting impact while offering both professional growth and personal fulfilment, we’d love to hear from you. 
We currently have 1 FTE available and can offer a Fixed-Term Full-Time contract for five years, with the possibility of permanency.

Remuneration: SMP Year 1-3 is $377,205 - $413,945 
(inclusive of base salary, PDL and 12% superannuation) 

About the role:

As a Senior Medical Practitioner in General Medicine at Kalgoorlie Health Campus, you will play a central role in delivering high-quality care to patients across the Goldfields region. Working as part of a dedicated multidisciplinary team, you will provide comprehensive assessment and management of inpatients, outpatients, and emergency presentations under the guidance of Consultant Physicians.
With a population of 52,348, the Goldfields region faces distinctive healthcare challenges, with 13% of the population identifying as Aboriginal. Many patients, often from low socio-economic backgrounds, present with complex chronic conditions and cancer diagnoses. In this role, your ability to provide culturally sensitive, patient centred care will be crucial in supporting better health outcomes for this diverse community.
The position also offers the opportunity to broaden your scope of practice through outreach to other sites such as Esperance Hospital, including the use of Telehealth to support colleagues and patients in more remote locations. You will contribute to the education, training, and supervision of junior doctors, helping to build local medical workforce capacity and strengthen the standard of care across the region.
This is a rewarding opportunity to make a real and lasting impact on regional health while working within an engaged and collaborative team in one of Western Australia’s most unique and historic settings.

About you: 

You are a dedicated and highly skilled Senior Medical Practitioner with a passion for General Medicine and a strong commitment to delivering patient centred care. With broad experience in managing a wide range of medical presentations, you are adaptable, resourceful and thrive in diverse clinical settings where every day brings new challenges.
Your approach to care is collaborative and culturally sensitive, and you value the opportunity to work alongside multidisciplinary teams to improve outcomes for regional and Aboriginal communities. You bring not only clinical expertise but also empathy and a deep respect for the unique needs of the population you serve.
You are motivated by continuous learning, providing and supporting clinical education and contributing to service development that strengthens the medical workforce in regional WA. 
Above all, you are driven by the opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of patients across the Goldfields, and you are seeking a role where your skills and commitment can truly make a difference across the region.
