# Podiatrist

> Mediix · Darwin, Australia · Full-time · Posted 2026-08-11

**Workplace:** on_site

**Department:** Podiatry

## Description

**Podiatrist — Darwin, NT** _Sunshine, short commutes, and a caseload you won't find anywhere else_

Trade the traffic and the mortgage stress for a role where you finish work at 5pm, drive ten minutes home, and spend your weekends on the water. Darwin isn't a compromise - for the right clinician, it's an upgrade.

**About the opportunity**

We're partnering with a well-regarded Darwin practice looking for a Podiatrist to join their team. The role suits clinicians who want breadth in their caseload, autonomy in their day, and a genuine lifestyle change — without giving up professional standards or support.

You'll be working across a patient mix you simply don't see in metro clinics: general biomechanics and routine care alongside high-risk diabetic foot management, wound care, and Indigenous health presentations. It's the kind of caseload that fast-tracks a career.

**Why Darwin, why this role**

-   **Clinical breadth** — a caseload that develops you two to three years faster than an equivalent metro role
-   **Real lifestyle** — 10–15 minute commutes, boat ramps 20 minutes from the clinic, and 30°C in July
-   **Financial upside** — the NT government's remote-area tax offsets and lower cost of living stretch a salary meaningfully further
-   **Supportive team** — you're not the only clinician; there's a multidisciplinary team around you and structured mentoring if you need it
-   **Modern clinic** — current equipment, current software, none of the "make do" you might expect of a remote role

**What the day looks like**

-   Comprehensive assessments, diagnoses and evidence-based treatment planning across a broad caseload
-   Routine podiatry care — nail and callus management, general biomechanics, footwear advice
-   High-complexity work — diabetic and high-risk foot assessments, wound care, offloading
-   Orthotic prescription, fitting, and rehabilitation program design
-   Patient education with a strong preventive-health focus
-   Accurate clinical documentation aligned with AHPRA standards
-   Participation in case reviews and team development

**Who we're looking for**

-   Bachelor's or Master's degree in Podiatry
-   Current General Registration with the Podiatry Board of Australia (AHPRA)
-   New graduates are genuinely welcome — structured mentoring and clinical supervision provided
-   Cultural awareness and a respectful, patient-centred approach — you'll work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients as part of the everyday caseload
-   Working with Children Check, National Police Check, and NDIS Worker Screening (or willingness to obtain)
-   The temperament for a bit of adventure — Darwin rewards clinicians who lean into it

**What's on offer**

-   Competitive base salary + superannuation, structured to reflect the location and your experience
-   Relocation support available for the right candidate
-   Generous CPD allowance and dedicated study leave
-   Access to Zone A remote-area tax offsets (talk to your accountant — they're meaningful)
-   Modern clinic, high-quality equipment, and clinical software you'll actually enjoy using
-   Flexible rostering and a genuine 4- or 5-day work week
-   A clear career pathway with real clinical autonomy from day one
