Plenty of senior doctors reach a point where they want to shape how care is delivered, not only deliver it themselves. This role is built for that moment.
We are a telehealth practice helping Australians get on top of their metabolic health, body composition, recovery and healthy ageing, guided by doctors and pathology. We're growing, and now need a Clinical Director to own our clinical standards and lead the doctors who deliver them.
