Eastern Shore Doctors Bellerive - VR & Non-VR GPs

GP Opportunity

Located on Hobart’s Eastern Shore, Eastern Shore Doctors Bellerive has an opportunity for either a full-time or two part-time VR GPs to join their practice due to the retirement of a long-term GP and growing patient demand.

Eastern Shore Doctors Bellerive has established a loyal patient following over its 33-year history and is a highly respected Registrar teaching practice. A recent refurbishment provides a welcoming environment with plenty of natural light. A short drive or ferry ride from central Hobart, the practice is located next to the waterfront at Bellerive Yacht Club within the picturesque Bellerive Quay.

The location

Bellerive is consistently rated as one of Hobart’s top suburbs, with beautiful historical properties, stunning views across the marina towards Kunanyi, beach walking tracks, and excellent restaurants, all within a 10-minute drive or 15-minute ferry from Hobart’s CBD. Many of the existing GPs take advantage of the nearby yacht club and flexible working to enjoy their passion for sailing, whilst others enjoy the ability to quickly escape to the Tasman Peninsula, South Arm or East Coast of Tasmania for hiking, mountain biking, fishing, surfing and other outdoor pursuits. With the ability to easily walk to work, enjoy a lunch break overlooking the wharf, or head out on the water at the end of the day, practising at Eastern Shore Doctors Bellerive can offer GPs a lifestyle that is hard to match.
