Are you considering taking some time off to locum but want to maximise your earnings? Maybe you should consider a working holiday in Northern Tasmania!
Not only would you be helping health services with their critical gaps, but you’ll also be remunerated $3500 per day, with time off between shifts to relax and enjoy the charming towns of Burnie, Latrobe, or beyond.
These are highly accessible hospitals with excellent feedback from past locums – supportive departments, manageable workloads with minimal on-call, desirable accommodation, and excellent daily rates. If you have even just 2 days to help pick up some shifts we want to hear from you!
This is an opportunity to help with crisis shifts at popular hospitals with significantly increased rates – these high rates are unlikely to continue into 2023. Please get in touch as soon as you can to secure your blocks.
The Position
Work is undertaken at either North West Regional Hospital, Burnie, or Mersey Community Hospital, Latrobe. If you are able to offer medium-long term assistance you can pick and choose shifts at both, they’re only 40 minutes drive apart.
Both hospitals are staffed with 4 FACEMs during the day plus 5-6 ED Registrars/CMOs over 24 hours. You’ll therefore be very well supported during your 9.5-hour shifts. Although there are shared on-call requirements, experienced CMO teams cover the nights so it is unlikely you would be required for call-backs.
Book as little as two shifts back-to-back, or we can identify blocks in the roster to allow you time off to enjoy the sites of Northern Tasmania.
With 2-3 bedroom accommodation provided, why not bring the family along – there’s so much picturesque scenery and things to do and see; wine tours, Tamar Valley, heritage tours, amazing coastal walks, and of course the beautiful city of Launceston which has been named the ‘Creative City of Gastronomy’.

Dates Available
Individual shifts are available at both hospitals in October and November, however, there is an ongoing requirement at both hospitals so if you can assist later in December or the new year please get in touch.
Book at little as 2 shifts if you require travel and accommodation, and 1 shift if you are already based in Northern Tasmania.
Shift times:
Early shifts (2x FACEMS) - 07:30 – 17:00
Afternoon shift (1x FACEM) - 14:00 – 23:30
Afternoon + on-call (1x FACEM) - 15:30 – 01:00 + on-call until 07:30

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.
