After-hours GP sessions at DC Medical Centre
Full-time or part-time after-hours GP sessions in the heart of Sydney — the Medicare pathway for doctors subject to section 19AB, via the after-hours exemption.
The Opportunity
Employed after-hours GP position — full-time or part-time — the Medicare pathway for doctors subject to section 19AB
Full-Time or Part-Time After-Hours Sessions
Medicare-compliant after-hours sessions — rostered evenings and weekends, full-time or a part-time load that suits you. Tell us your preference on the form.
A Route for 19AB-Restricted Doctors
Because these are after-hours sessions, doctors subject to the section 19AB moratorium can access Medicare here via the after-hours exemption — without a Distribution Priority Area placement. This is the practical Medicare pathway for restricted overseas-trained doctors.
Employment & Remuneration
This is an employed position. Remuneration structure, session load (full-time or part-time), rostering, and other employment terms are discussed during the application process.
Section 19AB of the Health Insurance Act restricts Medicare billing for some overseas-trained doctors, typically for their first ten years. The after-hours exemption is how a restricted doctor can bill Medicare at a metro practice like this one. Looking at the day opportunity (no 19AB restrictions) instead? We confirm your 19AB position with you during the application process.
