GP and Nursing Training
GP Registrars Training Post
Goondir commenced its GP Registrar training program in 1999.
Goondir continues to offer GP Registrars the opportunity to undertake their training specialising in Aboriginal health within an Aboriginal Community Controlled health service facility. Placement periods vary and are designed to immerse GP Registrars into Goondir’s comprehensive and culturally responsive model of primary health care.
Training is offered in a supportive learning environment where the GP Registrar works under the supervision of our General Practitioners (GPs) and alongside our Aboriginal Health Practitioners and Registered Nurses (RNs) to provide holistic, culturally appropriate health care with integrated preventive programs.
Goondir’s point of difference for GP Registrars includes exposure and experience with:
- Universities and Research Facilities
- Aboriginal health and Chronic Disease Management
- Extensive access to visiting health professionals such as Heart of Australia
- Extensive access to allied health professionals commensurate with urban services
- Point of Care Testing
The Goondir experience also allows involvement in outreach services to outlying rural and remote townships serviced by Goondir.
Supporting University Register Nurse Placement Programs
Student RNs placement terms are provided within a supportive learning environment with the opportunity to gain knowledge and experience working within an Aboriginal Community Controlled health service in a rural setting.
RN’s are also immersed in training under Goondir’s comprehensive and culturally responsive model of primary health care. The students work closely under supervision of Goondir’s RNs and alongside our GPs and Aboriginal Health Practitioners (AHPs). Working alongside our AHWPs allows the students to understand the importance of within a community setting.
Their experience at Goondir also allows involvement in provision of outreach services with the aim of enhancing their skills in the provision of culturally appropriate health care and integrated preventative programs.
Medical Student Testimonial - Young, Dec

As a first-year medical student, I had the opportunity to participate in a clinical observership at the Goondir Health Clinic in Dalby. It was a fantastic and unique experience to be able to step outside the classroom and personally engage with rural and Aboriginal patients across a wide range of backgrounds. From day one, the team at Goondir was incredibly warm and welcoming. With the guidance of dedicated staff and clinicians, including Amanda, Dr. Mustafa, and Dr. Khan, I was able to observe comprehensive, patient-centered care and gain a deeper appreciation for rural and Aboriginal healthcare. I will carry the lessons and memories from this experience with me throughout my future career as a physician. Thank you to the entire Goondir team for this incredible opportunity and for being such outstanding hosts. – Young, Dec 2025 |

Medical Student Testimonial - Anastasia, May 2026

Completing my General Practice placement at Goondir has been a very valuable experience, providing me the opportunity to gain insight into the rewards and challenges of rural medicine and Aboriginal healthcare. As a final year medical student, it has been very useful to see a wide breadth of presentations and consolidate my knowldge about everything from chronic disease management to preventative health. This placement has helped me better understand the role of the GP within the wider healthcare system and reinforced the values of communication, cultural safety and building long-term therapeutic relationships with patients and communities. The team at Goondir created a wonderful learning environment where I quickly felt part of the team and the Dalby community. I am grateful to have been part of this clinic and extend my gratitude to everyone at Goondir.
