Job Description
Podiatrist — Rockingham, WA
n
Private practice | Full-time or part-time | Strong caseload, real clinical work
n
An established private practice near Rockingham is looking for a Podiatrist to join its team. The clinic has been serving the local community for years, has strong referral relationships with GPs and specialists across the southern corridor, and has built a patient base that keeps the diary full without needing to advertise for it.
n
The team is friendly, the management is practical, and the workflow is set up to let clinicians do clinical work — bookings, billing, and admin are handled by a capable front‐of‐house team.
n
Why The Caseload Is Worth Talking About
n
Rockingham and the surrounding area — Kwinana, Baldivis, Waikiki, Secret Harbour, Mandurah — has a patient demographic that generates genuinely interesting clinical work:
n
n
- High-risk foot and diabetic caseload — the region has significantly higher rates of diabetes and vascular disease than the Perth metropolitan average, which means real complexity and real clinical development
n
- Working-population musculoskeletal work — a lot of trades, defence personnel from HMAS Stirling, and industrial workers, which translates to a steady flow of biomechanical and MSK presentations
n
- Ageing coastal population — Rockingham and Mandurah are major retirement destinations, driving consistent general and preventive podiatry demand
n
- Paediatric and family work — one of WA's fastest-growing family demographics, so gait, footwear, and developmental presentations are part of the regular mix
n
n
For a clinician wanting breadth and clinical depth, this is a caseload you'd struggle to replicate in a wealthier suburb.
n
The role
n
n
- Full-time preferred; part-time considered for the right candidate
n
- Busy from day one — established books, no ramp-up period
n
- Mix of general podiatry, diabetic and high-risk foot care, MSK and biomechanical assessment, minor procedures, and orthotic work
n
- Modern, well-equipped treatment rooms
n
- Strong reception and admin support
n
- Clinical autonomy with practical, hands‐off management
n
n
About The Area
n
Rockingham is 45 minutes south of Perth, on the coast, and has been one of WA's fastest-growing regions for the last decade:
n
n
- Coastal lifestyle without the northern‐suburbs price tag — Point Peron, Palm Beach, and Safety Bay are on your doorstep
n
- The Rockingham foreshore — genuinely one of Perth's better public spaces, with a decent café strip and swimming beaches that most locals prefer to Cottesloe
n
- Housing that stacks up — median prices well below Perth metro averages, and a mortgage a private-practice salary can comfortably carry
n
- Practical infrastructure — Rockingham General Hospital, Murdoch University's Rockingham campus, direct Mandurah train line to the CBD
n
- The southern getaway route — Margaret River is two and a half hours down the freeway; Dunsborough is a regular weekend option
n
n
For clinicians wanting a proper WA lifestyle without stretching to Cottesloe or Hillarys prices, Rockingham does the job better than most people realise.
n
What's On Offer
n
n
- Competitive base salary, structured around WA private-practice rates
n
- Incentive structure on top of base for higher-billing clinicians
n
- Consistent, established caseload
n
- Supportive team and grown‐up management
n
- Funded professional development
n
- Relocation support available for interstate or overseas candidates
n
- Long-term career prospect in a stable, growing practice
n
n
About You
n
n
- AHPRA‐registered Podiatrist, or eligible for registration
n
- Interested in real clinical variety — not just routine care
n
- Good communicator, professional, and reliable
n
- Comfortable with a working‐class and mixed‐demographic patient base — this practice serves its community, not a postcode
n
- New graduates with the right attitude are welcome to have a conversation; structured mentoring is available
n
