general practitioner doctor will tell you that finding a work-life balance can be a challenge. While Australia offers excellent opportunities for a rich social life alongside fulfilling practice work, often the place you live and the place you work can end up miles apart. There is one simple word that negates this problem: FIFO.

A FIFO GP role guarantees you can live anywhere you choose while ensuring secure and fulfilling employment.

Fly-in, fly-out (FIFO) doctor services are common in Australia, and offer GPs the best of two worlds. Live anywhere you choose – close to the beach, in the heart of a city, in the peace of a forest – the choice is yours. Meanwhile, you can still find secure and fulfilling employment in an area where you will be needed and valued. That is the Your Doctor Jobs guarantee.

We’ve always thought working as a FIFO general practitioner is a bit like the Boeing 737 jet – you have a comfortable travel experience seeing new places, while in the safest and most secure ride in the world.

Comfortable arrangements

The FIFO doctor lifestyle offers an opportunity for GPs to pursue a medical role where they are really needed. Flying to locations all over Australia, the life of a FIFO GP offers a huge range of benefits. The Australian Institute of Family studies identified several positives to this kind of medical career opportunity:

• Independence and a clear separation between work and home life: Keeping a proper work-life balance is easier when the two are in separate places, while independence to pursue your own working methods is popular with GPs who like doing things their own way.
  

Don’t bring work home to the family barbecue – FIFO doctor positions offer an unrivaled work-life balance.

• Quality social time: A FIFO lifestyle means that you can spend extended periods of time at home with loved ones. An impromptu trip with your significant other? A family barbeque? A road trip with friends? You need never miss another social event because of work.
• Comfortable working arrangements: Making sure our FIFO GPs have access to the best of onsite facilities is key to the Your Doctor Jobs difference. With our medical facilities boasting a range of health and exercise opportunities, as well as healthy eating options, you’ll never need to be your own patient.
