Why Choose Australia for Your Locums?

Australia offers a vibrant mix of natural wonders, cultural diversity, and exciting urban adventures. Imagine spending your weekends exploring the iconic Great Barrier Reef, hiking through lush rainforests, or relaxing on pristine beaches. The cities — including Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Darwin, and Brisbane — boast world-class dining, arts, and entertainment scenes that cater to all tastes. Each locum trip allows you to explore a new part of this incredible country.

Clinically, we have centres right across Australia eager to work with NZ radiologists. The sites offer well-aligned reporting and procedural work that’s always matched accurately with your personal skill set and experience.  You will often also have the chance to meet and work with other radiologists so that you can share your mutual experience.  Radiology locums are within private or public hospitals and a range of private clinic settings that offer well-resourced, supportive environments for you.

Financial Benefits and Flexibility

Locum rates in Australia are highly attractive, starting from AUD $3,500 per day (approximately NZD $3,850). With most locum positions including assistance with airfares, accommodation, and a hire car, your expenses are minimal, and the financial rewards are significant. Whether you prefer short stints or longer engagements, there’s an opportunity that fits your lifestyle. Bring your family along — many locums offer a family-friendly situation. Perhaps you’ll decide to stay on and extend your trip.
