Working as a GP in Sippy Downs offers a refreshing change from the typical retirement-hub vibe of the Sunshine Coast, thanks to a much younger patient base driven by the local university and growing neighbourhoods. Instead of heavy chronic disease management for older adults, your daily practice will focus on young families, students, and working professionals in their 30s. This means a rapid-paced mix of paediatric care, antenatal support, mental health services for young adults, and everyday preventative and lifestyle medicine.
Ochre Health is one of Australia’s leading General Practice organisations. Founded in 2002 by Dr Hamish Meldrum and Dr Ross Lamplugh in the NSW outback town of Bourke and has since grown to a network of 70+ GP practices nationwide.
