About the Role

Our doctors blend evidence-based practice with innovative approaches to support thousands of patients across Australia. We are seeking experienced AHPRA-registered doctors to join our telehealth team. This is a fully remote, Western Australian based role, ideally suited to doctors who can work late afternoons and evenings, with a preference for availability between 3pm–9pm WA time. Flexibility to support patient demand is also valued.

• Maintain complete documentation and compliance in a digital-first environment.
• Embrace digital tools to optimize patient outcomes and service efficiency.
• Demonstrate a strong commitment to patient care and continuity of care.

Qualifications

We’re looking for reliable doctors who excel in fast-paced, digital-first settings and are motivated to make a meaningful impact in an evolving clinical landscape. The consult rate is $60 per consult, with an expected 4 to 6 consults each hour, and additional incentives available for increased availability.

• Unrestricted AHPRA registration.
• Strong understanding of prescribing regulations in Western Australia and confidence managing Schedule 8 medications.
• Excellent time management with the ability to confidently manage 10-minute consults (4–6 patients/hour).
• Familiarity with privacy laws, RTPM, S8 regulation, and medico-legal obligations.
• Strong clinical judgment, with an evidence-based and harm-reduction mindset.
• Strong documentation and administrative skills.
• Experience working across multiple digital platforms and navigating technology efficiently.
• Punctual, reliable, and responsive qualities — valuing team collaboration and continuity of patient care.

What We Offer

• Laptop provided for all contractors.
