Location

Scottsdale, TAS

 Big skies. Two income streams. Zero micromanaging.

If you’re an experienced Rural Generalist who wants to feel genuinely valued – both professionally and financially – we’d love to welcome you to Ochre Health Medical Centre Scottsdale, just an hour from Launceston (read: rural enough for peace and purpose, close enough for a weekend city fix).

We’ve got a purpose-built, well-equipped facility with all the bells, whistles, and emergency trolleys. Think five consult rooms, a three-bay treatment room, procedure room, and on-site pathology. The kind of place where rural generalism still feels like real medicine.

You’ll also have the opportunity to work across the Scottsdale Hospital — 19 beds, emergency and outpatient services, low-risk maternity, physio, radiology, and more. In other words: a proper rural VMO gig with all the variety you signed up for.

Your Work, Your Way:

You drive your own schedule. We just make it ridiculously easy to thrive.

  • 8am–6pm weekdays + optional Sat clinic (or tweak it to suit your life)
  • General Practice + VMO = serious earning potential
  • Choose your days, sessions, and pace – full autonomy, no questions asked

What’s On Offer:

  • Earn $300k+ depending on how many sessions/VMO shifts you take on
  • Up to $20k incentive payment just for being awesome (and joining us)
  • $1200/day on-call VMO rate
  • 35% service fee, dropped to 25% for after hours, aged care, home/hospital visits
  • RA3/DPA = 30% moratorium reduction (10 years down to 7)
  • On-site Medical Educator & Supervision for RVTS, RGTS, AGPT, ACRRM IP & RACGP FSP
  • GRIP payment eligible (MMM5) – up to $23,000 in your 5th year
  • Full internal PPE & equipment support network
  • Car & accommodation provided for VMO shifts – and we cover the fuel, utilities, and FBT
  • Excellent CDM program so you can focus on patients, not paperwork
  • Brilliant support from practice nurses, admin, and clinical leads

The Location:

Set in Tasmania’s stunning northeast, Scottsdale is a friendly farming community with fresh air, fresh produce, and a seriously underrated café scene. You’re just down the road from vineyards, mountain bike trails (hello, Derby), and the East Coast beaches.

There’s a strong sense of community here — one that’ll welcome you in, and probably send you home with a basket of homegrown veggies after your first week.

What You’ll Need:

  • AHPRA General or Specialist Registration
  • ALS2 certificate + recent emergency experience (within 18 months)
  • An adventurous spirit and solid coffee-making skills (or a willingness to learn)
