The Position

Huon Valley Medical Services proudly owns and operates the Geeveston and Dover Medical Centres. The practices have strong focuses on looking after the well-being of the community and invite enquiries from eligible doctors who have a commitment to positive family medicine outcomes.

The doctors are supported by full-time registered nurses, administration staff and several visiting allied health professionals. A telehealth program allows access for patients to specialist services. Visiting services to the centres include psychology, exercise physiology, physiotherapy, massage therapy, and maternal & child health services.

Applicants must hold General Registration (or be able to obtain before applications close on 6 April 2025).

Huon Valley Medical Services is committed to fostering medical education and the practice is an accredited training practice and provider for RACGP registrars of all levels, senior ACRRM registrars, and medical students.

The practice bulk bills pensioners, health care card holders and children under 16 years old, with all other patients billed privately.

The Huon Valley is Australia’s southernmost municipal area, and is a vibrant, semi-rural community close to Hobart with four principal townships and a population of more than 17,000.

The region is a popular retreat for those seeking an alternative lifestyle. It is dominated by waterways and forested hills and is well known for an excellent range of gourmet produce that has helped Tasmania earn its reputation as a food lover’s paradise. Food and music festivals aside, the waters of the Huon River and D’Entrecasteaux Channel offer world class fishing, sailing, diving and rowing experiences, and the Valley’s population swells in the warmer months with an influx of visitors.

HR+ provide an invaluable service to Practice Managers in Tasmania. Jenny has acted as a mentoring support for me since I commenced at Don Medical Clinic in September 2018, and also supported me through networking events and education during my previous practice manager role in Hobart. Having a mentor like Jenny from HR+ has made a huge difference to me as I find my feet in the challenging world of practice management. I have found the support that HR+ provide, not only with mentoring but also the events put on by the Practice Support team, and the email support networking resources that are regularly provided, are invaluable and I am sure for many other practice managers in the state.
