experienced medical practitioner looking to practice at the top of your scope in
one of Australia’s most unique clinical environments?
Kununurra offers a genuinely broad and
rewarding scope of practice, where your skills in emergency medicine and/or
obstetrics will have a direct and meaningful impact on remote

practitioners, you’ll maintain and develop skills in:

generalist model, with;

tertiary escalation pathways
- Opportunities to supervise, mentor, and contribute to
service development
This is a setting where clinical autonomy
is balanced with strong team support – you're trusted to lead, but never
isolated.

scope
- Developing procedural and emergency skills in a hands-on
environment

communities
