About FIG

FIG is a digital-first healthcare platform bringing convenient access and high-quality medicine together. Our focus is medically supervised weight management, longevity and preventative health, and priority care that can be safely delivered through telehealth.

We put evidence-based decisions, appropriate prescribing and personalised care at the centre of the patient experience.

Your role:

You'll assess patients through video and/or telephone consultations, develop individualised treatment plans and provide ongoing medical oversight.

Clinical assessment and continuity of care:

- Take comprehensive histories, formulate differential diagnoses and assess clinical risk, red flags,



contraindications and suitability for telehealth.
- Prescribe within your scope of practice when clinically indicated and evidence-based.
- Arrange and review appropriate pathology, imaging and referrals, including pharmacy, specialist and allied health services.
- Recognise when patients need face-to-face assessment or emergency escalation, provide clear safety-netting advice and coordinate appropriate follow-up with usual healthcare providers.

Weight management:

- Assess eligibility for FIG's programs, considering weight history, BMI, comorbidities, previous treatment, medicines and contraindications.
- Develop plans incorporating nutrition, physical activity, behavioural strategies and pharmacotherapy where appropriate.
- Initiate and monitor weight-management medicines, including GLP-1/GIP therapies when clinically appropriate.
- Review effectiveness, adverse effects and adherence, adjusting, pausing or discontinuing treatment according to clinical response and FIG protocols.

Longevity and preventative health:

- Assess cardiovascular, metabolic and lifestyle risk factors and identify opportunities for prevention.
- Request and interpret clinically indicated investigations and develop personalised management plans.
- Ensure tests and interventions have a clear clinical indication, explaining risks,



uncertainty and limitations in balanced language.

Priority care:

- Assess appropriate acute and episodic presentations and provide evidence-based advice, treatment and prescriptions where indicated.
- Determine when virtual care is appropriate and when patients require GP, priority-care, emergency department or other face-to-face assessment.

Clinical governance and teamwork:

- Practise in accordance with AHPRA, Medical Board of Australia, TGA and other applicable requirements, FIG protocols and your approved scope of practice.
- Maintain high-quality clinical records and use electronic prescribing, referral and digital workflows effectively.
- Collaborate with nurses and clinical partners, and contribute to incident review, adverse-event reporting, audit, education, peer review and quality improvement as required.

What you'll bring

- A medical degree recognised in Australia and current unrestricted AHPRA registration as a medical practitioner.
- Appropriate professional indemnity insurance.
- Strong clinical assessment, decision-making and red flag recognition skills.
- Excellent communication and documentation, with confidence using electronic clinical systems.
- The ability to work autonomously and contribute to a multidisciplinary, evidence-based clinical environment.

Highly desirable

- FRACGP or FACRRM.
- Current active clinical practice in a physical setting, such as general practice or priority care.
- Experience in telehealth, digital health, primary care, urgent care, obesity medicine, metabolic health or preventative medicine.
- Experience prescribing and monitoring GLP-1/GIP therapies
