GP Position | Part time | NSW Page viewed: times Posted: 1/06/2026

Sydney Local Health District (SLHD) is seeking an experienced Staff Specialist (General Practitioner) to join our team at Croydon Health Centre.   

We are looking for a Staff Specialist (General Practitioner) for the Specialist Team for Intellectual Disability Sydney (STrIDeS), Sydney Local Health District. The primary purpose of the role is to bring specialist general practice  expertise to the development and implementation of the Intellectual Disability Shared Care Model that is a component of the ADHD/Intellectual Disability Shared Care Model.  STrIDeS/ Department of Community Paediatrics are partnering with Central and Eastern Sydney Primary Health Network (CESPHN). 

People with intellectual disability have poorer health. There has been significant policy and funding enhancement at both state and national level over the last 8 years or so. Some examples include the Primary Care Enhancement Programme and National Roadmap for Improving the Health of People with Intellectual Disability. CESPHN is one of only 4 national pilot sites for PCEP.

The ID Shared Care Model has been proposed by CESPHN as an additional service/system response to the unmet needs of people with intellectual disability. Given their role as a PCEP site, participation in national network of PCEPs and extensive connection with SLHD, state and national government and other ID organisations, such as NSW Council For Intellectual Disability we consider that this may be a solution to the persisting health inequities experienced by people with intellectual disability.
