About the Role

We are currently seeking a passionate and experienced General Practitioner to provide high-quality care to aged care residents in the Nelson Bay region. This is a unique opportunity to make a meaningful impact in a picturesque coastal community with a growing demand for aged care services.

In this role, you’ll work on-site at aged care facilities throughout Nelson Bay and the Port Stephens area, known for its stunning beaches, marine life, and relaxed coastal lifestyle. The region offers a peaceful yet connected setting—perfect for professionals seeking both purpose-driven work and a fulfilling lifestyle surrounded by natural beauty.

You’ll be supported by a multidisciplinary team including a full-time nurse, a geriatrician, and experienced administrative staff. Your responsibilities will include conducting clinical consultations, care planning, and working collaboratively with aged care facility staff to provide patient-centered, high-quality care.
