This is a solo Doctor practice with the support of a full-time RN/Practice Manager and Reception staff. The practice has been established for some time and has a good rapport with the community. The practice is well equipped with all relevant medical equipment, including an Occupational health room (with audio booth and spirometry) and an emergency/treatment room for minor procedures. The practice is fully accredited with our most recent review in 2013. There is a 24/7, 7 days a week on-call commitment- for incidents relating to the mine and the community. The on-call work load at present is very modest. 
 
About Glenden, 
This is a close-knit community which was initially established in the 1980's as a purpose-built residential mining town. The town is a 2hr drive inland from Mackay which is the closest city and referral centre. The current township population is somewhere around 1000- there has been a drop since the mining downturn. Residents are predominantly mine employees and their young families. The town has all the essentials including a post office, bakery, IGA, pharmacy, dentist, library, news agents, pool, pub, bowls club, tennis courts, gym, cafe, service station and both a primary and High School. There is a real sense of community spirit and this is a very safe town which attracts many families.
