Locum | Casual | Pakenham, VIC Page viewed: times Posted: 28/11/2025

Pakenham Urgent Care Centre is launching soon - and we’re finalising our summer roster now.
If you’re a VR GP who enjoys hands-on acute work with defined scope and strong clinical support, this is an ideal time to step into urgent care. Whether you want shifts now or in the New Year, we can shape a pattern around your availability. 

Why GPs Choose Our UCC Model:

This is a GP-led urgent care service with clear structure, tight guardrails and a highly capable nursing team.
You get to do meaningful procedural work in a safe, well-supported environment - without the unpredictability of ED or the chronic disease load of general practice. 

What’s Available: 

  • Negotiate your preferred Dec/Jan shift blocks and access increased summer rates
  • Flexible session patterns - AM, PM, weekends or ad-hoc
  • Start now or in early 2026 - whatever suits your availability
  • Training + induction provided for GPs new to urgent care
  • Dedicated urgent care nurses supporting triage, plastering, wound care & flow 

Typical Presentations: 

  • Lacerations, burns & wound management
  • Minor fractures, sprains & MSK injuries
  • Respiratory & ENT
  • Fevers, infections, acute pain
  • Time-sensitive assessments requiring onward referral 

Who We’re Looking For: 

  • VR GP with AHPRA Specialist Registration
  • Current ALS, ED, UCC or rural GP experience preferred (not essential)
  • GPs who enjoy fast-paced, hands-on, structured clinical work 

If you’d like to confirm availability, ask about training, or secure your preferred shifts, we’d be happy to chat.
