If you’re a doctor interested in moving away from the 12 hour days of the typical medical practitioner or GP job, or you simply want to supplement your income while you pursue other interests, joining the House Call Doctor team could be the solution for you!
By delivering doctor services that are outside of regular practice hours, House Call Doctor provides a valuable community service that helps patients receive the care they need when they need it, and alleviates the daily pressure put on emergency departments (where each visit costs state health budgets between $400 and $500).
Demand for House Call Doctor services has increased significantly since the deputising service’s inception in 2015, allowing us to offer doctors jobs at the right pay, in the right area, right away.
