BJGP Appointments - MARCH 2010 Issue
WESTCARE
MEDICAL CENTRE
Westcare Medical Centre is recruiting full-time GPs to join our
busy, modern and well established practice. Melton is a growing
outer-metropolitan town, situated only 40km from the centre of
Melbourne. Our status as a district of workforce shortage is
unusual for a practice so close to the city, and allows British
doctors with suitable qualifications an exception to the
restrictions on provider number eligibility. Our large size
provides a supportive environment for GPs to establish themselves
in a new system, good potential income from day one, and the
flexibility to determine your own working patterns and annual
leave. Our exceptional premises (opened in 2007) comprises 24
consulting rooms and a 7-bed treatment/procedure room with full
nursing cover. Also on-site are radiology (including USS and CT),
pharmacy, pathology laboratory, dentist, physio and optometrist, as
well as a cafe. Independently owned and managed, we are committed
to the Provision of high-quality, ethical medical care. We
embrace the use of IT, as a paperless practice. We are a training
practice (registrars and students), and in-house professional
development is a high priority. If you hold both CCST and MRCGP,
and are seeking to relocate to Melbourne, please do not hesitate to
contact us for more information. Please contact the partners or

is surrounded by broadacre farming, sheep and cattle, as well as

The fact that you are reading this means that you are more
than likely interested in working and living as a GP in Australia.
With a world class health system, high GP earnings, enviable
‘outdoor’ climate and easy going lifestyle, it is hard to resist!
However, moving across the world is not a decision to be made
lightly, especially if you have a partner and/or children to
consider. ! How can you be sure you are receiving fair
remuneration? ! Where exactly can you work and live? ! How are your
qualifications recognised? ! What are your immigration options? !
What education options are available for your children? Quite
frankly, relocating internationally is too big a decision to make
without full consideration of all the issues .As specialists in
International General Practitioner placement, we are obsessed with
making sure, GP’s like you, have all the facts to fully evaluate
Australia and Australian GP positions for yourself. With so many
different service providers pushing jobs, it is easy to be
misinformed or mislead, simply because you do not know the whole
picture. For this reason, we have developed a guide: “5 Fundamental
Issues GP's should know about Living and Working in
Australia” We would be delighted to email you a copy of the
guide. It is completely FREE of charge. Simply email us at
