Imagine practising medicine with the time, autonomy and support to truly make a difference.
What if your next GP role gave you time with patients, clinical autonomy, and the opportunity to care for those who have served their country — all while living in Australia?
Acquisitive is a full spectrum talent advisory firm that has partnered with an innovative Australian healthcare provider delivering integrated care to military veterans and their families.
This is a purpose-driven GP role focused on complex care, mental health, chronic pain, and modern treatment approaches including medicinal cannabis.
What Makes This Role Different
This is not a high-volume GP clinic. The model is built around longer consultations and multidisciplinary care for veterans with complex physical and psychological health needs.
Your work may include:
• Comprehensive primary care for veterans
• Veteran health assessments and care planning
• Medicolegal and clinical reporting
• Prescribing or advocating medicinal cannabis
• Trauma-informed care and mental health support
• Collaboration with specialists and allied health teams
You will also support patients connected with the Department of Veterans' Affairs Australia.
Why Many UK GPs Choose Australia
Australia offers the opportunity to practise medicine within well-supported, modern healthcare environments.
✔Longer consultations
✔ Strong clinical autonomy
✔ Modern clinic infrastructure
✔ Competitive earning potential
✔ Excellent lifestyle and work–life balance
Veteran healthcare in Australia is also evolving under reforms such as the Veterans’ Entitlements, Treatment and Support (Simplification and Harmonisation) Act 2025, which is simplifying healthcare access for veterans.
Who We're Looking For
• CCT-qualified UK General Practitioners
• Registered with the General Medical Council
• Interested in veteran or military healthcare
• Open to prescribing or advocating medicinal cannabis
• Motivated to relocate to Australia
Experience in mental health, medicolegal practice, chronic pain or Defence medicine is highly valued.

Support includes:
• Registration pathway guidance
• Visa and relocation support
• Clinical onboarding
• Mentorship in veteran healthcare
