Some of you may be interested in reading a GP position description for an Aboriginal Health Service. This job is split between Amoonguna (15kms from Alice Springs) and Central Australian Aboriginal Congress health service in Alice Springs.
Congress has expanded recently and now looks after nine branches within a 100km radius of Alice Springs. Some of these used to have their own health service but was taken over by Congress as the poorly planned and/or executed shire mergers took place with the shires deciding they were not in the business of providing health care to their remote Indigenous populations.
