Proven broad comprehensive primary health care experience with advanced clinical skills and competencies needed to work effectively in remote areas will be essential for success in this role.

An understanding of issues affecting Aboriginal health, drivers of health inequality, principles of primary health care and relevant legislation governing work practice in the Northern Territory is also desirable, and will help you succeed in this role. 

As an influential and resilient negotiator, your well-developed interpersonal skills will enable you to effectively supervise and mentor a diverse and dispersed group of staff, while being conscious of building productive and sustainable relationships with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders to drive positive health outcomes.
