The Opportunity

Access Aged Care is seeking a dedicated General Practitioner to provide on-site medical care to residents within Residential Aged Care Homes in Rutherford and surrounding areas.

This role offers a rewarding opportunity to practise relationship-based medicine within a supportive and well-structured model of care, with a highly attractive daily rate. As a GP with Access Aged Care, you will be part of a coordinated multidisciplinary team — including experienced nurses, telehealth specialists, and administrative staff — all working together to deliver comprehensive, patient-centred care in the aged care setting.

Our model is designed to reduce administrative burden, giving you the freedom to focus on clinical care and meaningful patient interactions. You will enjoy professional autonomy, a manageable caseload, and the opportunity to see the direct and lasting impact of your care on residents, their families, and the broader care team.

Whether you are an experienced GP or newly Fellowed, this role offers flexibility and clinical autonomy alongside the opportunity to become a trusted clinical presence within Residential Aged Care Homes — providing consistent oversight, elevating care standards, and contributing to a multidisciplinary model that delivers measurable, lasting impact for older Australians.

This opportunity may also appeal to GPs based in Newcastle or the broader Hunter Region, with Rutherford conveniently located approximately 40 minutes from central Newcastle.
