Time for a fresh perspective on your career as a GP? Then why not try rural locum work.

There are now more opportunities for urban doctors to experience life in a country practice thanks to the Federal Government’s new Rural GP Locum Program. Rural locum work is a great way to expand your skills while practising a more diverse and challenging range of medicine including Aboriginal health. You will also be supporting rural doctors who need a short-term break. The level of commitment required is flexible, and can be as little as two days a year up to two or three weeks depending upon your availability.

For locums who choose to make an ongoing commitment to a particular town, there is the chance to become a much-loved member of that community.

Support includes assistance with travel, accommodation and provider numbers.
