Digital Health General Practitioner - Night Shifts (Telehealth GP)

General Practitioners – Overnight Telehealth | 11pm–6am
Aspen Medical is proud to partner with Healthdirect Australia to deliver the 1800MEDICARE service: a virtual-first, 24/7 model providing Australians with access to urgent primary care when they need it. Supported by both the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) and the Australian Medical Association (AMA), this service is helping shape the future of healthcare. 
We're particularly looking for Specialist General Practitioners interested in working overnight, with a focus on the 11pm–6am period.
We know overnight work isn't for everyone. But for the Australians who need medical advice at that hour, having an experienced GP available can make an enormous difference.
Why Your Overnight Hours Matter
Working overnight with 1800MEDICARE gives you the opportunity to:

• Provide reassurance and clinical guidance to patients when their usual GP may be unavailable.
• Support parents managing sick children through the night.
• Assist elderly and vulnerable Australians who may otherwise feel they have nowhere to turn.
• Improve access to care for regional, rural and remote communities.
• Help patients understand when they can safely remain at home – and when they genuinely need emergency care.
• Contribute to reducing avoidable pressure on Australia's emergency departments and after-hours health services.

You might be working from home – but the impact of your shift can be felt across the country.
