What’s the role?
This is a part-time position (ranging from 0.3 FTE to 0.6 FTE depending on your preference) that will see you travelling from Darwin one day a week, to Minjilang and Warruwi communities to provide clinical services, leaving another one day each fortnight for reviewing results, case conferencing, care planning, general admin, etc.

Candidates outside of the NT will also be considered, with relocation assistance on offer for those looking to move interstate for the position.
What will you be doing?
- Your role will focus on the integration of Indigenous cultural imperatives in the delivery of healthcare in the context of an Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Service
