Job Description

Our headspace Eastern Shore team is seeking expressions of interest from General Practitioners interested in joining our multidisciplinary team and supporting the health and wellbeing of young people aged 12–25.

Important eligibility requirements
To be eligible, applicants must:

• Be eligible to register with Medicare and able to bulk bill clients under the Medicare Better Access Scheme (MBS)
• Have a minimum of 2 years post‑qualifying clinical experience

About the opportunity
This is a flexible sessional opportunity that can be tailored to suit your availability and interests. With referrals available, no rent charges and dedicated office space provided, you can focus on delivering great care without the usual overheads of private practice.

Alongside providing primary care to young people, you’ll have the opportunity to deepen your knowledge and experience in youth mental health, with access to support and supervision from child/adolescent and adult psychiatrists onsite.

You’ll join a welcoming multidisciplinary team committed to providing accessible, collaborative care to young people and their families.

This could be a great opportunity if you’re looking to:

• Build your experience in youth mental health
• Develop your understanding of mental health presentations and psychiatric diagnosis
• Learn alongside and receive support from child/adolescent and adult psychiatrists
• Work within a collaborative multidisciplinary team
• Add flexible sessional work alongside your existing practice or other commitments

About you
You’re a qualified medical practitioner with current registration with the Medical Board of Australia through AHPRA, together with registration and scope of practice appropriate to the services you’ll provide.

You’ll also have:

• Eligibility to provide Medicare Benefits Schedule services
• Willingness to provide required compliance documentation, including a current Police Check and Work with Vulnerable People (RWVP)
• Proof of professional indemnity insurance to a value of $10 million and a valid ABN

Most importantly, you’ll bring an interest in youth mental health and collaborative care. Previous mental health or youth health experience would be welcomed, but we also encourage enquiries from GPs who are looking to build their knowledge and experience in this space.
