A GP role in Coogee — and a walk to the beach at lunch.
Twenty years of patients, so the books are already full. Your own room, three kinds of nurse and a reception team that actually helps. Mixed billing in a catchment that can afford to attend. Eight to six, Monday to Friday — and weekends offered rather than rostered.
Permanent or locum. GP-led rather than corporate, a special interest list genuinely on the table, 70% of billings permanent and an indicative $180 an hour as a locum. Direct from the practice — no agency in the middle.

“Our goal is to make the GPs in our clinic feel supported.”
It is the answer they gave, unprompted, when the app asked what they most wanted a doctor to know. Not growth, not billings, not KPIs. What that looks like in practice is three nurses, your own room and nobody putting a Saturday on your roster without asking.
What an ordinary Tuesday actually looks like.
Specifics beat adjectives. Everything here comes from the practice’s own listing in the app, not from a brochure.
A patient base twenty years deep
The practice has been here more than two decades, and the books show it — you walk into full days rather than a slow build. Continuity of care is how it runs: patients come back to the same doctor, which is the difference between general practice and a walk-in queue.
Your own room, kept for you
A consulting room is provided and it is yours, not hot-desked between sessions. Fully modernised and equipped, running Best Practice — no learning a clinical system nobody else uses.
Three kinds of nurse
A practice nurse, a treatment room nurse and a chronic disease management nurse. That last one is the tell: the care plans and health assessments that quietly eat a GP’s afternoon are actually resourced here.
Reception that helps rather than hinders
The practice’s own words: “a friendly, happy reception team who enthusiastically welcome patients with familiarity and smiling faces.” Strong admin support is one of the things it lists about itself, and it is the thing GPs notice by day three.
Daytime hours, weekends optional
The clinic is open eight to six, Monday to Friday. Sessions are flexible and weekends are genuinely optional — offered if you want the extra billings, not rostered on you because someone has to cover Saturday.
A practice that teaches
GP-led, not corporate-owned, with a Principal GP and a Practice Manager on the ground. It lists a teaching culture among its own values and is open to taking on accreditation — so a doctor who wants to supervise, or be supervised, has somewhere to go.
Cover a few sessions, or take the room for good.
The practice is open to both, and its start date is “as soon as possible” — which in a metro practice with full books usually means it means it.
Inherit a full book, not build one
A contractual role at 70% of billings — and the practice indicates that works out around $160 to $180 an hour, which is an indication rather than a guaranteed minimum. Start as soon as you can, and that date is negotiable too.
- Sign-on bonus, negotiable
- Service Incentive Payment available
- A special interest list is genuinely on the table
- Weekends offered for extra billings, never rostered on you
Metro sessions, at a metro rate
An indicative $180 an hour on recurring weekday sessions, with the hours agreed with the practice rather than handed to you. You walk into a room that is set up, a system you already know and a book that is already full.
- Recurring sessions Monday to Friday, hours agreed with you
- Travel and accommodation support open to discussion
- Best Practice software and three kinds of nursing support
- The practice is advertising the permanent role too, if the fit works
Finish morning clinic. Walk down the road for lunch. Be in the water before the afternoon list.
Coogee, in Sydney's eastern beaches — cafés and restaurants on the same street as the practice, and the sand at the end of it.
Bring the interest you have, not the one that fits the roster.
Most metro listings want a body in a room doing whatever walks through the door. This one is advertising for the special interest as well as the general list — skin and cosmetics has its own place on the practice’s listing, not a footnote.
No procedural expectations imposed
Nothing obliges you to take on procedures you would rather not. The service lines are what the practice can support, not a set of quotas — so the conversation is about what you want to build, which is not how most of these conversations start.
A practice that teaches
A teaching culture is one of the things the practice lists about itself, and it is open to taking on supervision accreditation. If you want to supervise — or to be supervised towards Fellowship — there is somewhere for that to go here rather than a polite no.
Service lines the practice supports
Full-scope general practice
The core of the role, and the reason the books are full. Family medicine across every age, with the same patients coming back to you.
Skin and cosmetics
The practice advertises this as a role in its own right, not a favour it might grant. Eastern-suburbs skin work does not run short of patients.
Women’s health
Listed on the practice’s own profile as part of what it does. A dedicated list is on the table if you want one.
Men’s health, travel and occupational medicine
All three are supported service lines. Bring the interest you already have rather than parking it for a few years.
Want to know whether a particular list would work here? Ask on the form and we'll put the question to the practice directly.
Who this role works for — and who it doesn’t.
Said in full, up front. A role you can’t bill from is not a role, however good the rest of it reads.
FRACGP or FACRRM
Practise independently from day one. This is the straightforward case and no supervision is required.
Another recognised fellowship
Considered. The practice lists “other” alongside the two Australian fellowships on its own listing, so it is worth asking rather than assuming.
General registration, not yet vocationally registered
On the table with Level 3 supervision, and the practice is open to taking on the accreditation that requires. Rarer than you would think in a metro practice — most simply say Fellows only.
What this role cannot do
It does not sponsor visas. And Coogee is MM1 and not a DPA, so it carries no section 19AB relief and no moratorium credit. If you need a DPA placement to bill Medicare, this is not your role — and we would rather tell you now than in month three.
Not certain where you stand? That is a completely normal thing not to know. Put “not sure” on the form — the app also checks every listing against your own registration and restrictions, so it will tell you before you apply rather than after.
70% of billings, or $180 an hour as a locum.
A stated figure beats “competitive” — you cannot compare a blank against three other practices.
- Your own consulting room, provided
- Practice, treatment room and chronic disease nurses
- Full reception and administration team
- Best Practice software, fully modernised rooms
- Flexible daytime sessions, Monday to Friday
- Weekends offered, never rostered on you
- Sign-on bonus, negotiable
- Service Incentive Payment available
- Special interest lists genuinely supported
- Locum travel and accommodation open to discussion
What isn't included, said plainly: 70% is the split, so the 30% covers your room, nursing, reception and everything else on this list — there is no guaranteed minimum income on top of it. There is no visa sponsorship, and Coogee is MM1 and not a DPA — so no section 19AB relief and no moratorium credit. We would rather you read that here than find it in month three.
Eastern beaches, eight kilometres from the CBD.
A suburban street close to the sand, with cafés and restaurants on the same road as the practice — its own description, and an unusually easy one to verify on a lunch break.
A short walk to Coogee Beach
The practice’s own description of where it sits: a suburban street close to the beach, with cafés and restaurants on the same road. Lunch is a walk, not a drive.
A catchment that can afford to attend
The practice describes a thriving, high-income area in a sought-after location. In mixed-billing terms that is the difference between a good gap and a theoretical one.
Eastern Sydney, eight kilometres out
Coogee sits about eight kilometres from the Sydney CBD, next door to the Randwick hospital and university precinct, with Bondi, Maroubra and Clovelly along the coast. A metro role where you can still swim before clinic.
Why this one is worth a look
Twenty years of patients is the one thing a new practice cannot offer you.
No slow build, no empty afternoons while a book fills, no corporate owner two states away setting your throughput. A GP-led practice in a beachside catchment that can afford to attend, with three nurses and an admin team doing the work that is not yours — and the room is available now.
No CV, no recruiter, no fee — ever.
Heart Bridge Health is a marketplace, not an agency and not a job board. Doctors are free forever; clinics are the paying side. There is no commission riding on where you end up.
