The Role

Looking for real scope, real impact, and real community connection? We are looking for suitably qualified GPs to take up roles with the Royal Flying Doctor Service in Far West NSW, at a variety of outreach locations.

Join the RFDS and practise medicine where it truly matters. This is a genuine rural generalist opportunity offering clinical variety, procedural exposure, and the chance to make a lasting difference.

You will have support from a number of multidisciplinary team members including flight nurses, medical officers, pilots and the executive team along with fully equipped facilities.

Rostering

Available cycles in the form of:

• 2 weeks on / 2 weeks off

• 3 weeks on / 3 weeks off

• month on/ month off

Happy to discuss models with candidates but looking for continuity to ensure patient stability and team cohesion.

The Package

As a GP you may elect to be paid via:

• a salary package ($211,927 to $296,805), or

• percentage-based remuneration (70% billings earning typically $2,000 to $2,500 per day)

Benefits include:

• $30,000 per year housing allowance, paid fortnightly, for the full duration of employment

• Car allowance, will be built into the package, ongoing

• Visa nomination, lawyer fees, government visa fees, medicals, registration and police check fees covered
