Why not work somewhere awesome?

We understand that giving 100% to your patients is draining and the last thing you want is for the printer to be jammed or the receptionist letting you know that even though your day is bad, hers is worse.   

Interested? Of course we offer all the usual things that every other advert for every other General Practice has. We are fully accredited, fully computerised, flexible hours, etc etc  but that's not why you're still reading.

How are we different?

Our philosophy is around making your working life as easy as possible. We are not only recruiting for today, we are recruiting for the future. We want you to enjoy coming to work so you'll keep coming. So how do we do that? It starts with an architecturally designed, purpose built stand alone surgery with generous sized consulting rooms, most with windows. It is no accident that the staff room and waiting room are both light, airy and inviting.

Next we bring together a support team that is second to none. We have many long term term members whose focus is helping you to work efficiently, effectively and with minimum stress. But it's not just about the reception and nursing team, but also the allied health support with an onsite midwife, mental health nurses, physiotherapist, pathology and more, all there to assist you get the most for your patients.

On top of all that we are a training practice hosting GP Registrars, fifth year medical students, as well as RN and EN students.

The final part of the puzzle is leadership. Our Practice Principal, Dr Liz Chappel, started the practice in 2004 and has owned, operated and grown the practice since then. Liz is passionate about the reputation of the practice within the community and does all she can to continue to protect and enhance that. Want to know more, call Liz on 0422 533 644.

We know this is a small industry and all enquiries will be treated in the strictest confidence.
