First Peoples’ Health and Wellbeing (FPHW) is a dynamic Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Service aiming to improve access to affordable primary health care in urban Melbourne. FPHW has two clinics, one based in Thomastown and the other based in Frankston. Both clinics offer fully bulk billed primary healthcare that is culturally safe, and trauma informed for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community and their families.

You will be responsible for leading FPHW in upholding safe and effective clinical practices throughout the organisation. Collaborating closely with the Director of Clinical Operations you will oversee the delivery of clinical services across the two clinics ensuring alignment with the FPHW model of culturally safe practice.

Reporting directly to the CEO you will provide regular updates on key gaps, challenges, clinical risks and suggested improvements. You will provide leadership to the team of General Practitioners across both sites and work alongside a caring, thorough, holistic team working in a trauma informed environment to provide comprehensive primary care to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients and families.

This salaried position offers all the financial advantages associated with salaried employment. Generous renumeration, 12.5% superannuation, salary packaging, paid annual leave and sick leave, CPD funding support, additional training and study leave opportunities in areas of interest.

We have regular team meetings, doctors meetings, case conference meetings, Balint group, daily morning and afternoon huddles. We have long appointment times with scheduled admin time, full Nursing and Aboriginal Health Worker/Practitioner support and onsite Psychology. The team environment is highly supportive and dedicated to delivering high quality, trauma informed healthcare.

This is a rare opportunity as our turnover of staff is very low. We warmly encourage applications from enthusiastic and culturally aware General Practitioners.
