We are seeking GPs to work alongside our experienced Addiction Medicine doctors as part of a supportive, multidisciplinary team.
You are not expected to practise addiction medicine
- your role will focus on providing high-quality general practice care to our patients.
No prior experience in addiction medicine is required. However, if you are interested in developing your knowledge and skills in this area, you'll have the opportunity to learn from experienced clinicians, with mentorship, training and supervision available.
TEAM MEDICINE and COLLABORATION
Join a highly experienced and collegiate team of GPs with decades of expertise in general practice, mental health, and addiction medicine. Our doctors are passionate about delivering integrated, person-centred care to people experiencing mental ill-health and substance dependence.

Psychology
Mental Health Nursing

Addiction medicine specialist
Group Psychoeducation and Recovery Programs- Reset Life/SMART recovery
An Accredited Community Legal Centre
You will have the opportunity to build trusted, long‐term relationships with patients and provide continuity of care across all stages of their care. We support GPs to develop their own areas of clinical interest while maintaining the autonomy to practise medicine in a way that aligns with their professional values.
You will also be supported by an exceptional nursing and administrative team who are committed to ensuring clinicians can focus on providing high‐quality patient care. Their experience, and dedication create an efficient,



supportive, and enjoyable working workplace.
LOW THRESHOLD, SUB-ACUTE PRIMARY CARE
We believe everyone deserves access to quality healthcare, regardless of their financial situation.

We offer both face‐to‐face and telehealth appointments, providing flexible and accessible care for individuals in our community.
