General Practitioner (FRACGP) | Private Billing | GP-Owned Practice

Full-time and part-time positions available | Flexible working arrangements | Commencement to suit you

Appletree Family Practice is seeking Fellowed General Practitioners (FRACGP) to join our experienced team in Charlestown. We welcome GPs looking for a practice where they can build a rewarding and sustainable career, pursue their professional interests and enjoy the flexibility to maintain a fulfilling life outside of medicine.

About Us

Appletree Family Practice is a large, accredited, GP-owned private billing general practice that has proudly cared for the Charlestown and surrounding community for over 30 years.

Operating from our purpose-built modern premises since 2012, we are an accredited teaching practice with an experienced team of GPs, nurses and administrative staff committed to high-quality, patient-centred care and the ongoing development of general practice.

About the Opportunity

We currently have full-time and part-time positions available for Fellowed General Practitioners, with the flexibility to establish working arrangements that complement your professional goals, existing commitments and lifestyle.

You will be joining an established private billing practice with a strong, long-term patient base and an excellent reputation within the local community. We also continue to experience consistent demand from new patients, with enquiries received daily, providing genuine opportunity for incoming GPs to establish and grow their own patient base.

We offer competitive service fee arrangements, with flexibility to negotiate an arrangement that reflects your individual circumstances and the opportunity you are looking for.

With the support of our experienced clinical and operational teams, you can maintain your professional autonomy while building a rewarding and sustainable practice.

Commencement is flexible and can be tailored to suit your circumstances.

About You

We are looking for GPs who:

• Hold Fellowship of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (FRACGP)

• Are committed to providing high-quality, patient-centred care

• Value professional, ethical and evidence-based general practice

• Enjoy working collaboratively and contributing to a positive team culture

• Value professional autonomy alongside the benefits of a team-based approach to patient care

What We Offer

We know that great general practice is built around great doctors — and that every GP brings their own experience, strengths, interests and aspirations to the practice.

We want our GPs to feel genuinely valued as individuals and supported to practise at their best. That means providing the autonomy, flexibility, professional support and well-managed environment you need to grow and enjoy your career, while recognising that a fulfilling life outside of medicine matters too.

A supportive and collaborative culture
A team-based environment built on collegiality, kindness and mutual respect, where knowledge and support are readily shared while GPs maintain their professional autonomy.

A psychologically safe environment
A culture of open communication where people feel comfortable asking questions, seeking support, contributing ideas and helping us continually improve.

Flexibility and work-life balance
We recognise that flexibility looks different for everyone. Our working arrangements allow you to develop a consulting schedule that supports your professional goals while leaving room for the people, interests and commitments that matter to you outside of medicine.

Technology and innovation that supports you
Professionally managed IT and a willingness to embrace innovation that improves efficiency and reduces unnecessary complexity — so you can focus on the medicine, while we take care of the systems around it.

Excellent clinical and operational support
Purpose-built facilities, a fully equipped treatment room and experienced nursing and administrative teams supporting efficient, high-quality patient care.

Teaching and professional development
As an accredited teaching practice, we value ongoing learning, shared knowledge and opportunities for our GPs to develop their professional interests, contribute their expertise and continue growing throughout their careers.
