Job description

General Practitioner (GP) – Aboriginal Medical Service

Carbal Medical Services is a Not‑for‑Profit Aboriginal Medical Service dedicated to providing culturally safe, holistic, and community‑centred healthcare to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. With two medical clinics located in Toowoomba and Warwick, Carbal supports the Darling Downs, Southern Downs, and Goondiwindi regions.

Carbal offers a unique model of integrated care, combining primary healthcare services with programs in aged care, NDIS, community outreach, and allied health. Staff work within a comprehensive support framework alongside Aboriginal Health Workers, Registered Nurses, Midwives, and Chronic Disease Specialists to deliver meaningful outcomes. The organisation also offers nationally recognised cultural awareness training.

With a strong vision of improving First Nations health, Carbal is a rewarding workplace for GPs seeking purpose‑driven and flexible employment.

About the Opportunity

Carbal Medical Services is looking for full‑time or part‑time General Practitioners to join their team based in either Toowoomba or Warwick, QLD.

Reporting to the Chief Clinical Operations Officer and Clinical Lead, you will deliver culturally safe, patient‑focused, and evidence‑based healthcare. You will also have the opportunity to contribute to shaping Carbal's high‑performing, community‑led medical model.

Responsibilities

• Providing high‑quality, evidence‑based primary health care services
• Diagnosing and managing acute and chronic medical conditions
• Delivering culturally safe and trauma‑informed care to a diverse patient population
• Participating in preventative health programmes and health promotion
• Collaborating with a multidisciplinary team including RNs, Aboriginal Health Workers, and Allied Health
• Supporting care continuity and integrated care pathways
• Maintaining accurate and compliant clinical documentation
• Contributing to clinical governance and quality improvement initiatives
• For fellowship‑qualified GPs: supervise registrars and contribute to growth of training programmes
• Option to develop a special interest (e.g. women’s health, dermatology, chronic disease, Indigenous health), with organisational support

About You

We’re looking for compassionate, culturally aware General Practitioners to join Carbal’s busy and rewarding clinics. Whether you're a seasoned FRACGP, working toward fellowship, or a GP who values flexibility, community, and meaningful work, we’d love to talk with you.

• AHPRA registration as a Medical Practitioner
• Eligible to work in Australia
• Commitment to culturally safe healthcare, especially for First Nations clients
• Ability to work autonomously while collaborating within a broader care team
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• Fellowship (FRACGP or ACRRM) — ideal for supervising trainees
• Experience working in an Aboriginal Medical Service, ACCHO, or culturally diverse health setting
• Comfort working in regional/rural environments and openness to flexibility

Personality & Cultural Fit

• Compassionate, genuine, and community‑focused
• Team‑oriented yet independent practitioners
• Respectful, culturally sensitive, and trauma‑aware
• Keen to make a long‑term impact, not just treat single episodes
• Committed to improving health equity for First Nations communities
• We also welcome GPs with overseas experience (GPT3+ level), depending on supervision requirements

About the Benefits

Remuneration is based on a generous percentage of billings, with daily earnings typically ranging between $2,000 and $3,000.

Recent earnings data from our GPs shows that Carbal’s percentage‑of‑billings model can deliver annual earnings between $305,000 and $398,000, even when working flexible, part‑time schedules.

This strong earning potential is driven by Carbal’s multidisciplinary AMS model, where GPs benefit not only from their own consultations, but also from:

• Nurse‑completed chronic disease and health assessment billables
• Treatment room and allied‑health related services
• Longer, more comprehensive appointments supported by additional services

This model enables you to earn excellent income without extended hours, while delivering high‑quality, culturally safe care to the community.

Additional benefits include:

• Flexible working arrangements tailored to your lifestyle (no minimum or maximum hours)
• Two‑week paid Christmas shutdown (additional bonus payment under review)
• Supportive, cohesive multidisciplinary team with clinical oversight
• In‑house and accredited professional development opportunities
• Access to Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
• Gym membership and wellness benefits
• Discounted automotive services (e.g. tyres via Carbal fleet benefits)
• Live and work in Toowoomba – one of Australia’s largest inland cities with excellent schools, hospitals, and a temperate climate

Relocation assistance may be considered for the right candidate

If you value impact, flexibility, and being part of a strong and compassionate team, then we encourage you to apply today!

Why Toowoomba and Warwick? Live and work in a great regional city

Toowoomba, known as the Garden City, offers an ideal blend of regional charm, city‑style convenience and lifestyle balance.

The city provides all the essentials of metropolitan living such as hospitals, quality schools, cafés, restaurants and retail, while maintaining the affordability and relaxed pace of regional Queensland.

Residents enjoy easy access to national parks, scenic countryside, outdoor recreation and a vibrant food and café culture.
