Medical Director (Part-Time | Telehealth Healthcare | Open to Remote)

About Us
At easykind, we are at the forefront of healthcare, specialising in alternative medicine to provide compassionate and innovative solutions for patient care. Patient care is part of our DNA, being founded by patients for patients.
We're a passionate, goal-driven team with the mission of creating a 5-star service and the most cost-effective solution to high-quality alternative medicine in Australia. We don't want to be the everyday medical clinic; we bring personality and professionalism to simplify the process for our patients.
As we continue to scale, we are strengthening our clinical governance, regulatory engagement, and strategic clinical leadership to ensure we remain a trusted and best-in-class provider in a highly regulated environment.

The Opportunity
We are seeking an experienced and forward-thinking Medical Director (part-time) to provide senior clinical leadership across our growing telehealth organisation.
This is a pivotal role responsible for clinical governance, quality, risk oversight, and regulatory confidence, while also playing a key strategic role in shaping how we grow safely and sustainably.
You will chair our Clinical Governance Committee (CGC), provide independent clinical oversight, and ensure our care models remain safe, evidence-based, and aligned with Australian regulatory standards.
In addition to governance responsibilities, you will act as a senior clinical voice externally, engaging with regulators, industry bodies, and policy stakeholders, and providing clinical input into business growth initiatives, partnerships, and new service development.
This is a unique opportunity to shape not just clinical safety - but the future direction of a fast-growing, patient-first telehealth organisation.
