About our Client, your new employer:
Our client has established relationships with remote communities and has a strong On Country model of care.  They have established a base clinic in Cairns and see patients from the local community.  When I visited the clinic, it was team meeting day, where time is invested to discuss cases, provide in training (the task is alternated through the team) and generally catch up.  The team dynamic is supportive with a great energy and the culture within the company is genuinely admirable.  They have an exceptional reputation in the local area and the communities in which they work.  The vacancy that I am assisting with exists because of increasing demand from patients.
