with Barwon Health and two years with Southern GP

genuine interest in undertaking a career in rural general
practice, preferably within the Barwon South West Region
of Victoria. Applicants who have undertaken their medical
training at Deakin Medical School or one of the other
Victorian Medical Rural Clinical Schools are prefered.

fill five intern, five HMO2 General Stream, one JCC
Anaesthetic (must be at least PGY3), one Advanced
Diploma in Obstretics (must be at least PGY3) , one joint
ICU/Emergency Medicine post (must be at least PGY3) , one

through from initial presentation;

settings ambulatory, hospital and residential care;
