About the opportunity

You might think you already know a lot about Bupa. You’ll know we provide health insurance and aged care services across Australia and you’ve probably also seen our dental and optical clinics in your local shopping centres. But what you might not realise is that we also provide support to several government departments including delivering health services to Defence Force personnel and their families in Australia.

Our General Practitioners work from Health Centres located on Defence Force bases all across Australia and support all defence members and their families on the base. We play a key role in ensuring the overall health and wellbeing of all our defence members. Our GPs are also accredited GP Trainers and help grow GP registrars and support them on their own career journey.

About the role

We’re looking for GPs to join our team on a casual basis to provide leave coverage for our GP Trainers in all our major Health Centres - helping to ensure our people get the work/life balance they need while ensuring we're still continuing to provide high levels of care to our patients. You might be available to provide backfill in just one location - or travel between bases intra and interstate. We can work together to design a career with Bupa and the ADF Health Services that works for you!

As a civilian GP within our Health Centre you will:

Provide General Practice consultations, referrals and health screenings

Conduct occupational medical and health assessments for all defence personnel to determine employability and deployability

Provide appropriate medical advice to Base and Unit Commanders regarding employability and deployability of individual members

Provide advice and support to Base and Unit Commanders on general medical issues such as injury prevention, preventive medicine, disease control and hygiene

Provide supervision Medical Officers in accordance with FRACGP guidelines

This is an incredible role for GPs keen to practice interesting and diverse medicine, or a GP with an interest and passion for occupational health and sports medicine. Overall, this is your opportunity to make a real contribution to the provision of health services to our defence force members while working in a supportive and collegiate team.

About you

Please note: You must be an Australian citizen and be able to attain and maintain a baseline security clearance from the Defence security and vetting service.

We’re looking for someone who:

has excellent interpersonal and communication skills

is a personable and passionate GP with a genuine commitment to delivering health outcomes for our defence members

You will also require:

Current unconditional and unrestricted registration as a medical practitioner in Australia with AHPRA

A Fellowship of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (FRACGP), Fellowship of the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (FACRRM) or Vocational Registration

A minimum of 5 years Full-Time post graduate general practitioner (or part-time equivalent) experience

Accreditation as a General Practice Trainer at Principal/Lead Supervisor level (or commitment to achieving his accreditation)
