Which medical specialists are required?
While Heart of Australia started predominantly as a cardiology service, we have since expanded our fields of specialty services to include endocrinology, gastroenterology, gynaecology, neurology, urology, psychology, radiology, geriatric medicine and respiratory & sleep medicine.
We are always looking for opportunities to expand the specialties we offer to our rural and remote communities, as well as deepen our pool of specialists available for regular clinics.
Will I be remunerated?
Yes. Heart of Australia specialists are paid for their time.
By remunerating specialists appropriately, we can ensure the ongoing viability of our workforce and the program.
How many days are required?
The minimum commitment for specialists is two days per quarter, however we encourage more frequent visits to help strengthen relationships with your patients in the town/s you visit.
We understand that our specialists have a broad range of professional, personal and family responsibilities that can change throughout their time working for us. For this reason the program does allow specialists to be able to scale up and down their work for us as their schedules and commitments change.
We do ask our specialists to make themselves available for at least those two days per quarter in order to conduct clinics with a level of regularity on both weekends and weekdays.
With the launch of HEART 5 in 2022, now is the perfect time to contact us to find out more.
Who handles the travel arrangements?
Heart of Australia handles all aspects of the travel arrangements including the bookings of flights, accommodation and transport between airports and the Heart Trucks.
Once you confirm your availability for a clinic, our incredible operations team will handle all the necessary paperwork, contact and book your patients, and make all logistical arrangments.
When you arrive your clinic will be already booked, set-up and ready for you to go.
How often do you visit each town?
This varies from town to town based on the size of the population and the demand for services, but on average, we visit towns once a month as part of a fixed route.
You can check out our route maps and timetables here.
Will I visit the same towns each rotation?
Yes. In order to offer continued patient care our specialists do service the same towns when they conduct clinics for Heart of Australia.
Our specialists are warmly welcomed into the towns we service and become a very valued and appreciated service provider for the communities.
