Rural & Regional GP Opportunities Across Australia

High Income | Relocation Support | GP VMO Roles | FIFO Options | Visa Sponsorship

We are currently recruiting General Practitioners for a network of well-supported clinics across rural and regional Australia.

These opportunities offer excellent earning potential, government incentives, relocation assistance, and lifestyle benefits, making them highly attractive for both Australian GPs and international doctors relocating to Australia.

Many of these roles are located in Modified Monash Model (MMM) 3–5 locations, which can be particularly beneficial for international GPs subject to the 19AB moratorium, as working in these regions may contribute toward reducing the moratorium period.

Doctors can choose between clinic-based roles, GP VMO hospital positions, or flexible FIFO arrangements.

Queensland – Regional GP Clinic Opportunities

We are currently working with several high-demand clinics across regional and coastal Queensland, located in MMM3–MMM5 communities.

These locations offer the ideal balance of lifestyle, strong patient demand, and excellent income potential.

For example, some clinics are located in beautiful Sunshine Coast hinterland communities, which provide access to beaches, national parks, and vibrant local town centres. These regions attract both permanent residents and visitors, resulting in consistent patient demand and excellent billing potential.

Many of these towns offer:

• Coastal or hinterland lifestyle
• Excellent schools and family-friendly communities
• Easy access to major cities such as Brisbane
• Growing populations driving strong healthcare demand

These positions are ideal for GPs seeking high income combined with a relaxed Queensland lifestyle.

New South Wales – Regional GP & GP VMO Roles

Our network includes several well-established clinics and GP VMO positions across regional New South Wales, particularly within MMM3–MMM4 large rural centres.

These locations typically serve as major regional hubs, offering excellent infrastructure including regional hospitals, schools, and universities while maintaining a strong community feel.

For example, some opportunities are located in Central West regional centres approximately three hours from Sydney, with populations of 30,000–40,000 residents. These towns offer excellent cafés, wineries, cultural events, and strong sporting communities.

GPs working in these locations benefit from:

• High patient demand and established practices
• Regional hospital access and potential VMO work
• Reduced cost of living compared with metropolitan areas
• Opportunities for 19AB moratorium reduction

These communities are ideal for doctors seeking excellent professional opportunities while maintaining access to major cities.

GP VMO Opportunities – Rural Hospital & Clinic Work

For GPs with Emergency Department or rural generalist experience, we are also recruiting for GP VMO positions across remote and rural communities in MMM5–MMM7 locations.

These roles combine general practice with hospital-based work, providing significant professional variety and some of the highest earning potential available in rural medicine.

Typical benefits include:

• House and vehicle provided for the entire contract
• Additional government rural incentives
• Flexible FIFO or roster arrangements
• High professional autonomy
• Opportunity to work across clinic and hospital settings

Many of these communities are located in iconic outback regions of Australia, offering unique professional and lifestyle experiences for doctors interested in rural medicine.

Australian Capital Territory – Regional GP Clinics

We are also recruiting for busy community clinics within the greater Canberra region, offering excellent patient demand and modern facilities.

These practices are located in rapidly growing suburban communities, providing a strong patient base and consistent demand for GP services.

Doctors working in this region benefit from:

Access to Canberra’s excellent schools and infrastructure
Proximity to national parks, ski fields, and the South Coast
Strong earning potential within established practices
Balanced lifestyle combining regional living with capital city access

Tasmania currently offers some of the most rewarding rural GP roles in Australia, particularly within MM5 coastal and regional communities.

Many of these communities are located in beautiful coastal regions surrounded by national parks, forests, and stunning landscapes.

Benefits of working in Tasmania include:

Exceptional lifestyle and natural beauty
