Can you picture yourself working in one of the World’s greatest nature-based destinations? Prescript is delighted to be working with Kangaroo Island Health service to find them locum GPs for the rest of 2022.
Locum vacancies in spectacular destinations like Kangaroo Island are rare and are not available for long, so be sure to book in your dates quickly.
With 509km of coastline, pristine beaches, native bushland, wildlife and local wines to enjoy on your days off, there’s hardly any locum opportunities like this
“There really aren’t enough adjectives to accurately describe the beauty of Kangaroo Island. In fact, words can almost spoil the moment. Even photos don’t do this wildly gorgeous destination justice”
PS – May to September is the best time to catch Southern Right and Humpback Whales on Kangaroo Island, coinciding very nicely with the available dates!
The Position
Working in a modern 7-room private GP practice, you will be providing vital services to the community with a supportive practice team, including local 2 GPs, 3 registrars, 3 nurses, and 2 medical students – covering all aspects of General Practice.
GPs with additional emergency medicine experience are highly desirable. In addition to the GP clinic, you will provide shared on-call services at the local Emergency Health Service, twice a week (or more if desired).
There are also locum dates available for GP Obstetricians in September, allowing you to provide vital services in line with your specialist training.
This is an excellent health service to work in whilst exploring one of Australia’s bucket list holiday destinations – please enquire ASAP with your availability to assist.
