- Established referral pathways
- Professional intake and administration support
- Beautiful consulting rooms in Balwyn North
- Opportunities for multidisciplinary collaboration

This role provides the flexibility of private practice while offering the support, structure, and professional connection of an established multidisciplinary clinic.
About You

You value clinical autonomy, while also appreciating the benefit of working within a connected multidisciplinary team.
