The Opportunities
Western New South Wales offers some of the most iconic Outback landscapes and communities in Australia. It also offers lucrative GP salary packages, interesting and challenging medicine, and excellent pathways to vocational registration. Ochre Health’s origins and strong focus on rural and remote medicine started here, in the rich red soil which gives our company its name.
Ochre Health has recently strengthened our commitment to the region, having been chosen by the Western NSW Local Health District (WNSWLHD) to provide medical services in Bourke, Brewarrina, Collarenebri, Coonamble, Lightning Ridge and Walgett. This provides a great opportunity for Rural Generalists/GP VMOs interested in experiencing the diversity and unique flavour of Outback medicine. Through the Ochre-supported district hospitals and Ochre-operated medical centres, you can make a very real difference on a community level, operating at the ‘top of your medical license’ and building your skillset through the diversity and unique challenges of rural medicine.
