Become an NT Rural Generalist Registrar

Take your career beyond the traditional training pathway and work at the forefront of remote and regional healthcare as a rural generalist registrar in the Northern Territory.

While working in hospital and community-based settings delivering comprehensive healthcare, progress toward your chosen advanced skill, independent practice and obtaining Fellowship. In addition, you will participate in after-hours and/or remote clinic rosters and complete outstanding vocational training requirements while balancing direct clinical responsibilities. Travel by small aircraft and overnight stays will be required to reach some work locations.

To be successful you require eligibility for general and/or specialist registration with the Medical Board of Australia and prior to commencement of employment, be a vocational rural generalist trainee with the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) or the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM). Appointment at the senior category requires you to hold or be close to holding Fellowship with RACGP or ACRRM.

Strong clinical, interpersonal and teamwork skills with a commitment to safe and patient-centred health care, ability to work effectively and culturally safe in remote environments and excellent communication skills are essential. Experience in the desired procedural specialty, and/or experience in Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander health and living and working in remote or resource-limited settings will be well received.
