Forty-seven years in one suburb — and a room open in it.
A privately owned practice with 1,400 active patients already on the books. Private billing, your own room, three kinds of nurse — and a principal who owns the place rather than reports to it.
Permanent, full scope, start when you can. 65% of billings with a guaranteed $175 an hour — so a quiet week is the practice's problem, not yours.

“Our vision is to provide sustainable, long-term excellence in General Practice, customer service and workplace culture — creating a practice where our GPs feel supported and valued, our team is proud to work, and our patients receive exceptional care for generations to come.”
The word doing the work there is sustainable. It is what a practice says when it has been in one place for forty-seven years and intends to be there for another forty-seven — and it is a different sentence from the one a clinic writes when it is trying to fill a room by Friday.
What an ordinary Tuesday actually looks like.
Every listing in the country promises a supportive team and an established patient base. This is what those words look like once someone puts numbers to them.
Forty-seven years in the same community
The same doors have been open in Morningside since the late seventies, privately owned and operated the whole time. Four decades of families who have never gone anywhere else — grandparents, parents and children on the same books.
1,400 active patients on the books
A real number, not “strong patient base”. It is the difference between walking into full days and spending eighteen months building a list while you wonder whether you made a mistake.
Private billing, in a catchment that can afford it
The practice bills privately. The postcode’s median household income runs about 39% above the national figure, and the population skews working-age — which is the difference between a private billing model that works and one that argues with itself.
Your own room, and three kinds of nurse
A consulting room is provided. Nursing is a practice nurse, a treatment room nurse and a chronic disease management nurse — that last one is the tell, because the care plans and health assessments that quietly eat an afternoon are actually resourced here.
Independent, not corporate
Privately owned and operated, with a principal GP who owns the clinic and a practice manager on the ground. Decisions get made in the building rather than by a head office two states away with a throughput target.
The SIP is yours
The Service Incentive Payment is available, and the practice shares it with the doctor rather than keeping it. It is a small thing that tells you how the bigger conversations are likely to go.
Why private billing works in this postcode.

65% of billings — and a floor underneath it.
A percentage on its own transfers the risk of a quiet week onto the doctor. This one doesn’t.
A guaranteed $175 an hour, against 65%
You are paid 65% of what you bill, with $175 an hour guaranteed underneath it. If the week is slow, the floor holds. If it is busy, the percentage is the one that pays. The room is open now, and they would take you tomorrow.
- Private billing, in a catchment that can afford it
- Service Incentive Payment available — and shared with you
- 1,400 active patients already on the books
- Full scope, with a skin list genuinely on the table
Most percentage roles don't have one
A straight percentage means school holidays, a flu-free winter and a fortnight of cancellations all land on you. A guarantee moves that risk back to the practice — which is a thing a clinic only offers when it is confident about its own book.
Forty-seven years and 1,400 active patients is roughly what that confidence is built on.
Ask about the guarantee
Seven kilometres from the city, on a line that runs to South Bank one way and the bay the other.
Morningside, in Brisbane's inner east — the Story Bridge and the CBD on one side of it, Moreton Bay on the other.
Full scope — and skin, with someone to learn it from.
Most listings offer you a special interest in the abstract, once you have proved yourself. This one has an accredited skin cancer doctor already in the building.
Skin teaching, on site
Finding hands-on skin experience with someone watching over your shoulder is genuinely hard — and the closer the lesion sits to the face, ears and scalp, the harder it gets to find anyone who will let you learn on it. There is an accredited Skin Cancer College of Australasia doctor in this building doing skin cancer medicine and surgery, and the offer is that you build that scope with support beside you rather than off a weekend course.
Service lines the practice supports
Full-scope general practice
The core of the role and the reason the book is full. Family medicine across every age, with the same patients coming back to you — which is what forty-seven years in one suburb buys.
Skin — and someone to learn it from
The practice has an accredited Skin Cancer College of Australasia doctor on site doing skin cancer medicine and surgery, minor procedures and excisions. If you have wanted to build skin scope and never had anyone to learn it from, that is the opening here.
Women’s health
A standing service line here, in a catchment full of young families and women of working age. If you want a dedicated list, there are already the patients to fill it.
Integrated and allied health
Podiatry on site and an integrated-health model, so the referrals that usually leave the building can stay in it.
Want to know if they'd support your special interest?
Ask. Tell us on the form what you want to build — skin, women's health, chronic disease, something else entirely — and we will put the question straight to the practice and come back to you with their answer, before you commit to anything.
Ask about my special interestWho 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, vocationally registered
Practise independently from day one. This is the case the role is written for, and the practice has said it plainly rather than leaving it vague.
Already able to work in Australia
You need the unrestricted right to work here already. The practice does not sponsor visas and has not asked us to find someone who needs one.
Not restricted to a DPA
Morningside is Modified Monash 1 and is not a District of Workforce Shortage, so a doctor inside the moratorium cannot bill Medicare from this room.
And if this room isn’t yours, another one is
Straight up: this one needs a vocationally registered Fellow. No supervision, no fellowship pathway, no visa sponsorship — and Morningside carries no DPA or moratorium relief. If that rules you out, it rules out this room, not your search. The same free app carries the DPA, rural and supervised roles that do fit you, and checks every one of them against your own registration before you apply. Leave your details anyway and we will point you at them.
Never guess again
The app checks every role against your registration
Your fellowship, your scope, your right to work, your DPA position — checked against every listing before you apply, not after. Not sure where you stand? Put “not sure” on the form. It is the most common answer we get, and the app works it out for you.

A stated figure beats “competitive” — you cannot compare a blank against three other practices.
- 65% of billings, with a guaranteed $175 an hour
- Service Incentive Payment available — and shared with you
- Your own consulting room, provided
- Practice, treatment room and chronic disease nurses
- Podiatry on site
- Best Practice software
- Flexible sessions across a seven-day roster
- Full-scope general practice, private billing
- Skin work taught by an accredited skin cancer doctor
- Start as soon as you can
Two things worth getting in writing before you commit, and we will chase both for you: the guarantee, and how weekend cover is shared across the roster. Ask them on the form — putting those questions to the practice on your behalf is exactly what we are here for.
Inner-east Brisbane, on a line that goes everywhere.
Morningside sits on the Cleveland railway line — which turns out to be one of the more useful lines in the city to live on.
Seven kilometres from the CBD
Morningside sits in Brisbane’s inner east, a little over seven kilometres from the city. The train into Central runs under twenty minutes, and for most of the suburb the station is a walk rather than a drive.
Twelve minutes to South Bank
South Bank station is on the same line, no changes — twelve minutes from the local platform to the lagoon, the galleries and the riverside. So is the airport, domestic and international, which matters more than people expect.
And the same line runs to the bay
Ride it the other way and it ends at the water — Cleveland and Moreton Bay, about forty minutes out. A metro practice on a line that reaches the city one way and the coast the other.
Why this one is worth a look
Forty-seven years and 1,400 patients is the one thing a new practice cannot offer you.
No slow build, no empty afternoons while a book fills, no corporate owner setting your throughput from another state. A privately owned practice in a young, high-income catchment seven kilometres from the CBD — with a floor under your income and the room 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.
