Lead bold, community-led reform in Aboriginal primary healthcare across Perth’s South Metro region.

Moorditj Koort Aboriginal Corporation (MKAC) is seeking a culturally grounded, values-driven General Practitioner to step into the executive-level role of Senior Medical Officer (SMO). This is more than a clinical position—it’s a rare opportunity to shape a culturally secure, community-led model of care that honours Aboriginal ways of knowing, being, and healing.

About MKAC

MKAC is a dynamic Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Service (ACCHS) providing holistic, culturally safe primary health care to Aboriginal people and families across the Perth metro and Wheatbelt regions.

We’re growing rapidly—establishing new clinics, expanding community programs, and partnering across the health system to deliver truly integrated care. At the heart of this transformation is our Moorditj Koort Connecting Care (MKCC) Framework—a bold model grounded in community, culture, and connection.

Deliver high-quality GP services (70–80% clinical)

Lead clinical governance, quality improvement, and accreditation

Mentor and support a high-performing, culturally responsive clinical workforce

Guide MKAC’s GP Partnership Strategy with up to 20 like-minded practices

Influence health system reform through research, partnerships, and advocacy

This role offers executive scope with clinical continuity—ideal for an experienced GP who is passionate about working alongside Aboriginal communities in ways that respect culture, enable healing, and strengthen self-determination.

What We’re Looking For

AHPRA-registered Specialist GP (FRACGP or FACRRM)

Experience in delivering culturally secure primary health care—ideally in an ACCHS or similar setting

Demonstrated leadership and governance capability

Strong understanding of Aboriginal health, cultural safety, and trauma-informed practice

Commitment to Aboriginal-led models of care and equity in health outcomes

Executive-level salary, negotiated based on experience

Salary packaging up to $15,900 tax-free (PBI status)

$2,000 annual professional development allowance
