Why join Peel Health Care?
We pride ourselves on our collaborative workplace culture.
At Peel Health Care staff and contractors share a philosophy of supporting and networking with other health practitioners, embracing a multidisciplinary approach to patient care, to reach the best possible outcomes for patients. Our comprehensive, kind and personal service ethos is embedded throughout the practice.
We are proud of our longstanding reputation for supporting outstanding healthcare provision and believe residents in regional and rural Australia deserve reliable access to highly qualified and experienced medical professionals. Clinicians are committed to sharing their knowledge and skills with the next generation via the training and mentoring of GP registrars, medical and nursing students within the practice.
We believe in encouraging a positive work/life balance. Doctors practicing at Peel Health Care choose their own hours, days of work and the number of patients they wish to see. Plus, the practice is fully managed, leaving Doctors free to focus on their patients, on teaching and life outside of work. We also provide strong opportunities for training and career development.
Our practice is fully accredited with AGPAL and is a not-for-profit organisation, with all proceeds channelled back into patient care, up-to-date medical equipment and management of the practice.
We welcome enquiries from GPs who are interested in a tree change.
Please contact our Chief Executive Officer Melissa Hayes for any enquiries.

Ready for a tree change?

As soon as you hit the city limits, Tamworth gives you the gift of time. With no traffic jams or killer commute, you can reclaim every precious minute to build both a rewarding career and a fulfilling life in our dynamic regional metropolis!
Tamworth local government is home to more than 60,000 residents, and the city is the regional hub for community, public & private health services in Northern Inland NSW. We are a part of the Hunter New England Local Health District and the recently upgraded 288 bed Tamworth Regional Referral Hospital has a 24 hour, fully staffed emergency department, as well as patient transport via road and air to a list of metro hospitals. Tamworth also hosts Tamara Private Hospital, plus an impressive and diverse array of in-residence and visiting specialists. In recent years, the city has attracted numerous highly regarded medical training programs and facilities, including the University of Newcastle’s Education Centre.
Tamworth city has grown dramatically over the past decade, as tree changers have discovered we are so much more than country songs and golden guitars! More than 60 nationalities call Tamworth home – we’re a melting pot of many different cultural communities. As the regions’ major centre, our retail and dining scene is thriving, and we boast a full calendar of events, with something fabulous happening every weeknight and weekend, either in the city or one of our delightful surrounding towns or villages. No need to compromise on your culture fix here!
Afterhours, enjoy downtime in our picturesque riverside CBD or throw on a backpack for a memorable outdoor adventure, with wild and wonderous national parks to hike, lakes to swim and meandering country roads to picnic beside. You can very easily skip town too – catch a flight to Sydney or Brisbane and touchdown in an hour, or if you’re craving an ocean breeze, the coast is an easy three-hour drive over the range.
For families, Tamworth offers a rare combination – a relaxed, idyllic country lifestyle without sacrificing access to opportunities. The city features high-quality public, private and independent education options, and with countless extra-curricular activities, (many supported by world-class sporting, arts and entertainment venues) kids will be spoilt for choice! In an exciting development for our young people, the University of New England Tamworth Campus has secured funding for its establishment in the near future. Add safe and welcoming neighbourhoods, affordable real estate, and beautiful parks, playgrounds and public greenspace around every corner, what’s not to love?
At Peel Health Care, we understand that moving to a new city can often be daunting, so offer relocation support services to help contractors and their families get settled in their new community quickly and easily.
