Full time RN – who enjoys assisting with procedures, and supporting chronic disease management, by actively searching for and engaging with patients who are eligible for Chronic Disease Item numbers and Health Assessments.  We have a VIP patient programme running to ensure care plans are individualised and reflective of care needs.

 

ALLIED HEALTH SERVICES

DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES

Sullivan Nicolaides Pathology is onsite.  Radiology can be found 5 minutes away in either direction and is accessible by public transport.

​

OTHER CLINICAL SERVICES

The practice is equipped with a hyfrecator and excision equipment to provide skin cancer medicine and cosmetic treatments would be considered if it was of interest to an incoming doctor.

 

PATIENT DEMOGRAPHICS

The practice is a pleasant mix of young families and people aged over 50.  People with  chronic disease are the highest presenting conditions including  COPD, CKD and CVD.

 

BILLING ARRANGEMENTS

Currently the practice bulk bills patients aged under 21, health care and pension card holders, all DVA patients, and patients registered for close the gap initiative.  Private fees are determined by the individual GP.

 

PATIENT FLOWS

The current practitioner is booked out 1-2 weeks ahead.  Any incoming GP can expect to see 4 patients per hour.

 

TOWN/SUBURB FACILITIES

Coombabah is nestled between Paradise Point and Runaway Bay on the Northern end of the Gold Coast, close to both beaches and the M1. It is in a busy neighbourhood hub and enjoys excellent public transport services just outside the surgery door.

The Gold Coast is a fabulous place to live and work.  The population forecast indicates an expected increase by 40% in the next three

years, mainly in the Northern Region.  The closest private school topped NAPLAN for the region. Many GP’s and specialist children

go to the same school. The practice is supported by a tertiary hospital less than 10 mins away.  

 

TOURIST INFORMATION

Living on the Northern end of the Gold Coast means you are only a 45-minute drive from both Brisbane and Gold Coast airports. You

are close to all the theme parks, the beautiful Broadwater, long sandy beaches and the Pacific Ocean. The heart of both Brisbane and

the Gold Coast entertainment precincts are easily accessible for some of the best fine dining, theatres and concerts available in

Queensland. With the practice closed on weekends you will have plenty of time to explore the area and all it has to offer.

 

SKILLS OR INTERESTS SOUGHT

We are seeking a VR GP for full or part time work.  We are a family friendly practice who do our best to accommodate the needs and clinical interests of our GP’s.  Experience in Chronic disease management would be advantageous.  A GP with skin experience would also be highly valued.

 

CIRCUMSTANCES

Rapid expansion of the patient base, word of mouth referrals and the recent departure of our doctor have created the strong need for a new doctor to come on board

 

CONTRACT TERMS

We are offering 70% of billings with $150 p/h guarantee for the first 3 months (not that we expect this will be required!)

The practice owners would consider a Profit Sharing arrangement or a partnership after a qualifying period.

 

GENERAL COMMENTS

If you are looking for a practice where you will feel valued and challenged, autonomous in your practice and work as a part of a strong team then we are the practice for you.
