Seeking altruistic GPs to make a difference in Refugee Health Mater Refugee Complex Care Clinic (MRCCC) provides specialist primary care for people from a refugee background with complex health needs. Established in 2002, the not-for-profit clinic prides itself on delivering equitable and culturally safe care in partnership with patients and health professionals. A particular focus is delivery of quality health care to vulnerable patients from the asylum seeker population who often have very limited access to Medicare, limited work rights and live with ongoing uncertainty about their future. This is a unique opportunity to join a supportive group of health professionals who share a passion for human rights and are committed to making a difference.

Who would this position suit? This position is suited to General Practitioners (or similar) with an interest in refugee health, mental health, tropical medicine, infectious diseases, and working with patients impacted by their past torture and trauma experiences.

How does the clinic work? The clinic offers long consultations with interpreters and nursing support. Complex case management and collaboration is often required with other community support and health services. Sessions are bulk billed or no fee for service.

How much do I need to commit? As much or as little as you can offer. On average, most MRCCC GPs do one session a week. If there was capacity to do more sessions that would be welcomed.
