Three Roles. Distinct Locations. One Shared Commitment. This senior role exists to bring stability and clinical oversight to highly remote desert communities.

Work Model • 4 weeks living and working on-site in the community, including 24/7 on-call responsibilities • 8 weeks providing structured telehealth and clinic support (approximately 3 days per week) • Remote support can be delivered from Broome, another KAMS clinic, or from home anywhere in Australia During on-site periods, you will provide hands-on care and serve as a key escalation point for Aboriginal Health Practitioners and Workers, alongside nursing staff.

During remote support weeks, you will strengthen governance processes, oversee recalls, assist chronic disease clinics, and support continuity, clinical oversight, and coordinated follow-up across service periods.

Remuneration • 25% Availability Allowance during the 4-week on-site period • $300 per day when rostered as first on-call during the support phase • Medical Indemnity Insurance provided • Accommodation and Flights are provided during community periods.

Located approximately 2 hours from Broome, Bidyadanga is one of Western Australia’s largest remote Aboriginal communities and offers the opportunity to embed yourself in long-term, relationship-based practice within a coastal setting.

This role focuses on long-term primary care delivery, cultural engagement, and supporting the local health workforce in a vibrant coastal setting.

Remuneration • Accommodation provided (if living in the community) • Relocation assistance by negotiation • Salary packaging and professional development opportunities • 2 Weeks paid Study Leave • Medical Indemnity Insurance provided A clinically focused remote GP role supporting Balgo, Mulan and Billiluna communities.

While governance responsibilities are lighter than the senior role, the clinical environment requires confidence, adaptability, and rural competence.

Remuneration • 25% availability and call-out payment • Medical Indemnity Insurance provided • Flights provided The Experience We’re Looking For To qualify, you will need current or eligible medical registration in Western Australia and demonstrated experience in rural and remote general practice.

These roles require established rural and remote experience and are not suited to clinicians new to remote practice. The level of isolation, clinical complexity, and emergency exposure, particularly in the Kutjungka communities, requires confidence and prior experience in similar settings.

Additionally, the following background will be highly valued: • Experience working within Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services • Commitment to continuity of care and long-term patient relationships • Experience contributing to audits, recalls, and governance processes • Ability to work effectively within multidisciplinary clinical structures As our ideal candidate, you are resilient, adaptable, and motivated by meaningful work.

You value relationship-based medicine, understand the realities of remote practice, and are seeking a role where your contribution strengthens both community health and clinical systems. Rewarded for Your Commitment We recognise the level of responsibility and resilience required to practise in remote communities.

Our remuneration packages are structured to reflect that. If you are an experienced rural or remote GP seeking meaningful impact, long-term patient relationships, and the opportunity to contribute to Aboriginal community wellbeing in the Kimberley, we encourage you to APPLY!
