Opportunity for a full-time or part time VR GP in Cairns, Far North Queensland.

About us

Wheels of Wellness (WoW) Ltd is a progressive, values based not-for-profit charity, specialising in delivering primary healthcare to the most disadvantaged and vulnerable members of the Cairns community. WoW’s highly motivated and committed team of health professionals and volunteers deliver free, person centred medical, allied healthcare and social and emotional support.

The WoW service model combines both a mobile outreach and fixed premises approach to the delivery of primary healthcare by GP’s, Indigenous health workers, registered nurses and a mental health social worker. The aim is to provide a safe service, free from judgment where clients feel welcome and heard because we want them to remain engaged in their healthcare journey.

About the role

The General Practitioner role requires primary healthcare assessments, diagnoses, and treatment plans within a preventative healthcare framework for people experiencing homelessness or sleeping rough, Indigenous Australians and people with diagnosed and undiagnosed mental illness, poverty, domestic and family violence at a time when they need it most, in the place where it is needed.

The role is supported by a passionate and dedicated multidisciplinary team. The service is fully bulk billed, with appointment times set to meet the complex needs of our clients.

Flexibility in rostered sessions worked, such as early morning, business hours or early evening, working from either our mobile van or practice.

About you

Ideally, you will have 5 or more years’ experience, a sound MBS knowledge, and an interest in:

• Indigenous Health
• Chronic Disease
• Mental health

Due to the social circumstances and vulnerability of our clients, you must be a passionate clinician who can build rapport quickly.
