The Wheels of Wellness service is provided by a very special group of medical professionals and volunteers who deliver free, focused medical and social support.

To use their own words: Simply put: our doctors, nurses and support staff go out into our community and provide medical care to those that need it, where they need it. A little about the role: We are seeking a part-time or a locum VR GP to commence mid-November.

When clinics are mobile you will have access to a fully equipped, air-conditioned and purpose-built medical van as your office. The van is quite remarkable. At all times, you will be well supported by a Social Worker, Health Worker and SMO. The service is fully bulk billed, they aim to run to 30 min appointments however due to the complexities associated, the focus is at all times on quality.Creating and nurturing relationships with referral partners and key community stakeholders will be highly desirable and assist in Wheels of Wellness’s holistic approach to healthcare.
