Tender out for GP service
EXPRESSIONS of interest are being sought for a GP service of up to three days a week at Dimbulah Primary Health Centre.
The new licence agreement is expected to be for a term of three years with a possible extension period.
Cairns and Hinterland Hospital and Health Service chief executive Leena Singh said Dimbulah Primary Health Centre currently provided a nurse-led clinic, five days a week and a GP service two days a week.
“The Expression of Interest is open to all private practice GP clinics in our region,” she said.
“This fair and equitable procurement process will ensure the community receives the best value from a private GP arrangement at Dimbulah, as well as increasing local access to GP services.”
Mareeba and Communities Family Healthcare chair Ross Cardillo said the community-owned and volunteer-based service would submit an Expression of Interest.
