Join our vibrant, community-focused team in tropical Cairns and deliver comprehensive healthcare with an emphasis on Indigenous health.

The role

We’re seeking a GP who shares our commitment to community health, values diversity in practice, and is driven by the satisfaction of making a significant impact, to join Kuranda Medical Centre.

Located in Kuranda within the lush, tropical surrounds of Cairns, in Far North Queensland, our centre is committed to delivering comprehensive healthcare with an emphasis on Indigenous health, an area of significant importance within our community.

As a GP at Kuranda Medical Centre, you will play a crucial role in delivering high-quality, compassionate care to our diverse patient base. You’ll be joining a dedicated team of doctors, experienced and professional nurses and receptionists, who will support you to provide the best possible care to our strong patient base. Our centre has 6 consult rooms, 2 treatment rooms and a nursing station. Co-located in our centre are Steve King Dental Group, Sullivan Nicholaides Pathology and Queensland Community Health.

Our GPs are passionate about Indigenous Health and Closing the Gap. They participate in remote clinics three times a fortnight to provide healthcare to the surrounding Indigenous communities. We also work closely with Mulungu Aboriginal Service, Health Reimagined and Northern Australia Primary Health Limited. We have several visiting allied health professionals, including diabetic educators, dietician, podiatrist, psychiatrist, exercise physiologist and Australian Hearing. 

Kuranda Medical Centre is in a DPA approved location and suitable for International Medical Graduates. The centre is also a training practice and welcomes Registrars each semester. This is a great opportunity for any doctor interested in becoming a GP Supervisor and passing on their knowledge and skillset to future doctors.
