Arthur House is a musculoskeletal centre in Red Hill, a central suburb of Brisbane. It is the headquarters for Queensland Rheumatology Services currently offering rheumatology care from very young infancy to and including adult patients. We are a unique centre in Australia by being able to provide onsite multi-disciplinary team (MDT) care to our patients. As our practice is expanding to cater for our patients both in Brisbane and regional centres of Queensland, we need to provide adequate cover for this need. Both positions can involve visits to regional outreach clinics, also supported by MDT. The case mix includes inflammatory conditions such as JIA, JSLE, JDM, RA, SLE, SScl, etc., as well as non-inflammatory MSK conditions requiring complex care. Arthur House is staffed by a vibrant and enthusiastic team who have patients’ well-being as their priority and support the clinical staff through years of experience providing community-based health care. There is a happy atmosphere here which welcomes the new staff and supports them every day. We use up-to date and modern medical software to link services to health funds and Medicare.

Contractor – Flexible (0.5 to 5 days per week)
Telehealth, Australia-wide. For Perth-based consultants: Biio, 224 Rokeby Road, Subiaco, WA
Dr Michaelia Verbeek Email: jobs@biio.com.au Website: www.biio.com.au
Remuneration: $800 to $1000 per hour. Sign-on bonus available biio. is an integrated multidisciplinary clinical service providing structured diagnostic assessment for patients with hereditary connective tissue disorders, including hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) and hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD). We are seeking Rheumatologists to work as Specialist Diagnostic Consultants within a defined diagnostic pathway. This role focuses exclusively on diagnostic assessment and clinical reasoning, supported by comprehensive pre-consultation workup. Prior to rheumatology review, patients complete validated screening tools, specialist physiotherapy assessment, relevant pathology screening, red flags checklists, and genetic testing where indicated, with all information available in a single integrated digital workspace.
You’ll complete 1:1 consultations (30–60 minutes), diagnostic synthesis, confirmation or exclusion of hEDS/HSD and relevant differentials, and a concise diagnostic summary. This is a diagnostic role only; ongoing management is undertaken by an established multidisciplinary team, with no expectation of longitudinal care unless you personally choose to dive deeper. Most uniquely, you will change lives here. Patients with hEDS face 15 year diagnostic delays in Australia, resulting in missed opportunities for early intervention and effective multidisciplinary care. Your role changes this narrative and reintroduces hope. Engagement is via contractor agreement, with highly flexible sessional commitment and competitive remuneration reflecting the specialist nature of the work.
