Doctor – Telehealth GP

Remote | Australia-wide | Flexible Sessions | $170–$260+ per clinical hour

Looking for a flexible GP role with excellent earning potential and genuine clinical autonomy?

Cannabis Doctors Tasmania (CDT) is a doctor-led, independent telehealth clinic specialising in medicinal cannabis consultations for patients with chronic and complex health conditions.

We are looking for GPs who want to build a flexible telehealth practice around their existing commitments — whether that's one session a week, several sessions, or a substantial part-time workload.

No commute. No Medicare billing. No practice overheads. No corporate KPIs. No pressure to prescribe particular products.

Just clinical medicine, supported by an experienced administrative team.

Why doctors join us

$170–$260+ per clinical hour, depending on appointment mix

Work entirely from home, anywhere in Australia

Choose the days and hours you work

No fixed roster — take time off whenever you need it

Strong and growing patient demand

Dedicated administration team handling the operational workload

No Medicare billing or bulk-billing requirements

Complete clinical autonomy

Comprehensive training provided — no previous medicinal cannabis experience required

Ongoing clinical mentoring and peer support

No financial relationships with pharmacies, manufacturers or product suppliers

An unusually independent model

CDT is funded entirely through consultation fees.

We do not receive commissions, rebates, incentives or other financial benefits from pharmacies, medicinal cannabis companies or product manufacturers.

Doctors are therefore free to recommend treatment based solely on the patient's clinical circumstances, preferences and budget.

Patients are also free to use the pharmacy of their choice.

We believe this independence is important — both ethically and clinically.

Flexible work that fits around your life

Appointments can be offered between 8:00 am and 10:00 pm, seven days a week.

You choose when you work.

The role can suit doctors who want to:

supplement an existing GP income

work remotely around family commitments

combine telehealth with another clinical role

reduce their face-to-face workload

build a substantial telehealth practice

transition towards greater flexibility without giving up clinical work

Patient demand is strong, and doctors can generally establish a busy appointment book relatively quickly.

Earning potential

Doctors are paid on a percentage-of-billings model.

Current consultation fees:

Initial consultation – 30 minutes: $139
Follow-up consultation – 15 minutes: $99

Indicative doctor earnings are approximately:

Initial consultations: $166–$181+ per clinical hour
Follow-up consultations: $238–$257+ per clinical hour

As your patient base develops, follow-up consultations generally make up an increasing proportion of your workload.

Actual earnings depend on appointment mix, availability and clinical workflow, with experienced clinicians potentially earning above these indicative ranges.

What you'll be doing

You will provide telehealth consultations for patients with chronic and complex medical conditions who have not achieved adequate symptom control with conventional treatment.

Your role will include:

comprehensive clinical assessment

reviewing previous investigations and treatment

assessing suitability for medicinal cannabis

developing individualised treatment plans

monitoring treatment response and adverse effects

reviewing treatment outcomes over time

communicating with the patient's regular GP and other healthcare providers

maintaining appropriate clinical documentation and prescribing practices

Our administrative team manages appointment scheduling, patient communication, prescription processing and day-to-day logistics, allowing you to focus on the clinical consultation.

Our approach to clinical care

We support doctors to practise according to evidence, clinical judgement and current regulatory requirements.

Our model includes:

independent, brand-neutral prescribing

patient choice regarding dispensing pharmacy

detailed written consultation summaries

routine communication with the patient's regular GP

clinically appropriate and cost-conscious treatment

structured follow-up

routine outcome monitoring

collaborative care with the patient's broader healthcare team

We encourage thoughtful, individualised prescribing rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

You don't need medicinal cannabis experience

Previous medicinal cannabis prescribing experience is not required.

We provide comprehensive onboarding, education and ongoing clinical mentoring to help you become confident in this area of medicine.

We're looking for doctors with:

current AHPRA registration

at least three years' clinical experience

strong communication and consultation skills

confidence providing care via telehealth

an interest in chronic disease and patients with complex health needs

a professional, patient-centred approach to clinical care

If you're an experienced GP who is curious about medicinal cannabis but has never prescribed it before, we'd be very happy to hear from you.
