If you see yourself working with a team that has a genuine commitment to improving the health of the community it serves, then the Goondiwindi Medical Centre may be just what you’re looking for. Our staff (and the community) know you are more than #justagp.
At the Goondiwindi Medical Centre, we:
- are proud of the camaraderie within our team; in good times and in bad
- have a genuine commitment towards reconciliation in our region
- offer our doctors the opportunity to work flexibly. No set hours or days here
- look forward to our monthly catch ups over a cuppa or a wine where we discuss our wins, our challenges and what we can do better
- encourage volunteering within our community
- believe that QI is an integral part of our work, not just a box-ticking exercise.
- love that we are located only 600m from a public hospital with a 24/7 ED department, inpatient wards, visiting consultants, including surgeons, local birthing and imaging (XR, USS, CT)
- are really proud that we have built a reputation for delivering exceptional medical care and medical education, and that our biennial Gundy Medical Muster is one of the most anticipated rural medical conferences in Australia!
You don’t need to have procedural skills to make a difference to rural communities. We need GPs who are experts in primary care, so if you hold a fellowship and are keen for a change, get in touch.

Goondiwindi lies on the northern banks of the Macintyre River, between the traditional lands of the Bigambul and Gamilaraay people. Our practice provides rural generalist health services to over 15 thousand people in the district, on both sides of the state border.
We are always pleased to hear from doctors who may be interested in joining our team. See below for a taste of the rewards of rural generalist practice in Goondiwindi and the district.
For information on available positions, please contact our practice manager (Alicia) on gundydoc@gmc.com.au
It was a privilege to learn general practice at the Goondiwindi Medical Centre. This is a well run practice – great patient centred care, deep understanding of rural medicine and indigenous health, and very experienced staff. Having worked and observed other practices I cannot find another that compares, working at GMC led to a very rewarding career caring for rural people in SE Qld.
GMC covers the full scope of a great general practice, offering everything from paediatrics to complex skin procedures. The practice staff are warm and wonderful and the GPs are a great team of doctors who cover both the clinic and the hospital so will do their best for continuity of care. They love Gundi and it shows. I tribute my time at GMC to building a really solid base for my general practice training. I was exposed to a huge range of acute presentations and chronic conditions and I was able to follow patients throughout their medical journey. I learnt so much from a great team of skilled doctors who encouraged independence, but were really supportive and clearly loved their jobs.
Goondiwindi Medical Centre gives you a great breadth of experience as a Registrar, in a well supported environment with experienced Rural Generalist supervisors. Your week may include General Practice, Nursing Home visits, Emergency and ward work at the Hospital, as well as outreach to the nearby Boggabilla Clinic. It is a privilege to be a part of the patients journey between the hospital and medical centre, and to live in such a lovely community with a variety of sporting and creative opportunities to be a part of. I would be happy to chat with any prospective future Registrars about my experiance.
I think back very fondly on the years I spent finishing my general practice training at Goondiwindi Medical Centre. Not only was I able to gain the full spectrum of rural general practice experience but I also gained friends through the inclusive and family friendly nature of the practice and it’s staff.
If the medical team at GMC was a sporting team, you would say it has the ideal mix of youth and experience! Goondiwindi offers an excellent rural medical experience for doctors in any phase of their career. For junior doctors it provides a good variety of work in a very supportive teaching environment. You will never feel ‘on your own’ when working in Gundy. For doctors who have completed their training and are looking for a fulfilling rural career, Gundy offers the chance to practise comprehensive rural general practise. The GMC admin team is very professional and enables a smooth transition for new doctors moving to Goondiwindi. I thoroughly recommend GMC to any doctors interested in rural GP.
GMC is well equipped, state of the art, up to date, and is at the forefront of general practice. The GMC team provide patient centered care whilst keeping to the highest standards of General Practice, and have a genuine interest in advancing health services within their rural community. GMC provides a very friendly and warm workplace, and within it, a team that has a wealth of combined experience and knowledge of which is shared at any opportunity through education and mentoring programs. GMC has an excellent reputation as an education centre for medical students, junior doctors and GP Registrars alike.
Thank you for facilitating such an incredible placement experience here in Goondiwindi!
It has been a true privilege to be mentored and inspired by you and the wonderful team here in Gundy, and I very much hope I’ll be able to meaningfully contribute to this beautiful community sometime in the future.
