About AVHS

AVHS is a specialist occupational medical service founded by Veterans, for Veterans. We support Defence personnel in their transition to civilian life by providing expert assistance with DVA Claims, Permanent Impairment Assessments, ADF Transition Medicals and private pilot medical assessments for CASA and FAA. We complement established medical and ex‑service organisations with our collaborative, multidisciplinary approach, ensuring veterans receive the care and support they deserve.

Due to continued growth and increasing demand, we are seeking Medical Officers (FRACGP) to join our modern clinic in Springfield. You will deliver non‑acute care to veterans in‑person (some telehealth required), ensuring access to quality healthcare across urban, rural and remote communities. Your days will be varied, with a mix of clinical work, team collaboration, documentation and community engagement.

Occupational Medicine Specialists are strongly encouraged to apply and can attract a higher rate!
