Do you have an interest in providing primary care in the Northern Territory on a fly-in-fly-out basis? Prescript is working with the Primary Health Care Branch in Darwin, NT to provide Fellow GPs for their remote Indigenous communities.
Not only will this be one of the most adventurous locums you ever do, but you’ll also be remunerated a fantastic $2000 per day for your help. Opportunities like this do not last long and there is a critical requirement from now until 20th January 2023. Please get in touch ASAP if you can assist.
The Position
Based in Darwin, you will be providing FIFO Primary Care coverage to the community of Wadeye four days per week, with the fifth day in their Casuarina Plaza office.

You will be working alongside another GP and a multi-disciplinary team, delivering clinical and public health services to the residents of Wadeye and surrounding outstations.
This is an excellent opportunity for GPs with previous experience in Aboriginal Medical Services or new Fellows with an interest in Indigenous Health who can commit to short term locum blocks.

About Max Drakeley
I’m Max Drakeley - Prescript's Senior Recruitment Partner for locum and permanent Specialist Doctor positions across Australia. My genuine interest, passion, and knowledge within the hospital and healthcare industry means I am able to provide a highly tailored service to doctors and health services.
I focus on listening to and understanding the needs of everyone I work with. This allows me to place doctors in positions that perfectly suit their requirements, and provide health services with well-informed and competent doctors, so they can operate at a higher capacity and under less stress.
When not providing solutions to doctors and communities Australia-wide, I love to cook, travel, and spend time with my dog, Monty, and my partner at my home on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria. I’m a science nerd at heart and spend my spare time as an editor and author for a cutting-edge Biology magazine for year-12 and undergraduate students.
