We're seeking a Senior Podiatrist to join our passionate and supportive multidisciplinary team in beautiful Cairns, with regular outreach travel to remote Cape York communities.

What makes this role special?

✨ Impact – Deliver vital podiatry care where it's needed most, improving health outcomes in First Nations communities.

🌍 Adventure – Weekly travel to Cape York offers unforgettable experiences, but also demands flexibility, resilience, and a sense of humour. The logistics can be challenging — long drives, small planes, unexpected delays — but the rewards are deep connection, cultural immersion, and professional satisfaction.

🤝 Collaboration – Work as part of a tight-knit multidisciplinary team who support each other and celebrate the wins, big and small.

This is a rare opportunity for a podiatrist who's not just looking for a job, but a purpose.
