Looking for your next move in General Practice?
Considering your next move in general practice? Here’s what it’s really like to practise at a modern, patient-centred clinic in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD.
If you’re a GP weighing up where to work next, you already know it’s about the team around you, the patients through the door, the flexibility to practise medicine the way you believe it should be practised, and whether you’ll look forward to Monday mornings.
At CBD Doctors Melbourne, we’ve built the kind of practice we’d want to work in ourselves: a family-run clinic where the principal doctor is on the floor, decisions are made by people who genuinely care about the place, and you’re a valued colleague rather than a number on a corporate roster. Here’s what that looks like.
Family-Run, with our Principal Doctor You Can Actually Reach
We’re a family-run practice and that difference is felt every day. Decisions are made by people who work in the clinic and care about it, not by a distant head office chasing quarterly targets.
It also means our principal doctor is present, approachable, and genuinely accessible. Whether you want to talk through a complex case, raise an idea for the clinic, or discuss how to shape your role, you can have that conversation directly — no layers of management to navigate. For newer fellows, that mentorship is invaluable. For experienced GPs, it means having a real say in how the practice runs.
A Genuinely Central Location
We’re on Queen Street, in Melbourne’s CBD — two minutes from the trams on Collins Street and a short walk from Flinders street station. No car park politics, no long suburban commute. For many of our doctors, getting to work is as simple as stepping off a train or tram.
That location also shapes the work. Our patient base is engaged, professional, and diverse: young professionals, corporate workers, international students, and long-term city residents. It makes for varied, interesting consulting days.
Practise the Full Scope of General Practice
One of the most common frustrations we hear from GPs is that their previous clinic pigeonholed them into 10-minute standard consults, back to back, all day. That’s not us.
Our doctors work across a broad range of areas, including:
- Mental health — supported by an on-site clinical psychologist, so your care plans actually connect to accessible therapy
- Sexual health — including our rapid STI testing service
- Women’s health — contraception, IUD insertions, menopause and hormonal care
- Skin cancer checks — with the assist of a Photofinder machine
- Weight management — including medical weight loss programs
- ADHD assessments and ongoing management
- Iron infusions
- Travel medicine
- Pre-employment medicals
If you have a special interest, we want to help you build it. If you’d like to develop skills in a new area, we’ll support that too.
Multilingual, Multicultural and Proud of It
Our team collectively speaks English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Serbian, Croatian, Russian, and Macedonian. For our patients, that means care in their own language. For our doctors, it means being part of a team that genuinely reflects and serves Melbourne’s diversity.
Supportive Team, Real Colleagues
Medicine is better when you’re not doing it alone. Our GPs have easy access to each other for a quick corridor consult, along clinical psychologists on-site. Our reception and administrative team is experienced and organised, so you can focus on patients rather than paperwork.
We keep the clinic collegial on purpose. You’ll know your colleagues’ names, their interests, and who to ask when you want a second opinion.
Flexibility That Fits Your Life
Whether you’re after full-time sessions or a few days a week, we’re open to arrangements that work for you. Our clinic hours (Monday to Friday, with no weekend or after-hours on-call) mean you can build a sustainable schedule and actually protect your evenings and weekends.
For GPs balancing family, study, research, or simply a life outside medicine, that predictability matters.
Modern Systems, Minimal Friction
We invest in the tools that make your day smoother: online booking, efficient practice management software, and streamlined recall and results systems. Less time fighting your computer, more time with patients.
Fair, Transparent Earnings
We offer competitive arrangements and we’re upfront about them. We’d rather have an honest conversation about numbers early than surprise you later. Strong patient demand across our services means a well-supported billing potential from day one.
What We’re Looking For
We’d love to hear from you if you are:
- FRACGP-qualified (or working towards fellowship)
- Committed to high-quality, patient-centred care
- Interested in working collaboratively within a supportive team
- Keen to develop or apply special interests
- Excited about practising in a diverse, city-based clinic
Doctors with additional language skills or special interests in mental health, women’s health, sexual health, or chronic disease management are especially encouraged to reach out.
We would love to Talk
Choosing where to practise is one of the most important decisions in your career. If what you’ve read sounds like the kind of environment you’ve been looking for, we’d genuinely love to have a confidential, no-pressure conversation.
Reach out by email us at reception@cbddocs.com.au to arrange a time to visit the clinic, meet the team, and see whether CBD Doctors Melbourne is the right fit for your next chapter.
We look forward to meeting you.
