GP Locum Roles in a Brand New Correctional Health Facility, VIC

At Prescript, we specialise in placing doctors in roles where they can make a genuine difference — to their patients, their careers, and to communities that need them most. We’re currently supporting the rollout of a brand-new, maximum-security correctional health facility just outside Geelong, in the township of Lara, Victoria.

This purpose-built environment is designed to deliver safe, structured, and high-quality care — with dedicated medical spaces, modern amenities, and a strong focus on stability, rehabilitation and clinical best practice. For GPs seeking meaningful part-time work or a flexible addition to their current schedule, this is a rare opportunity to step into a new chapter of correctional healthcare.
