Are you ready to unlock the story of the Tropics? This thriving tourist hotspot is considered one of the most diversely beautiful cities in the world. With more than 2 million visitors each year, this coastal city is the gateway to majestic Cape Tribulation, the Daintree Forest, and The Great Barrier Reef. You can visit the magical waterfalls of the Atherton tableland, go off-road into the Highlands or take the Skyrail to the idyllic rainforest village of Kuranda.
Prescript is delighted to advise that we have radiology locum availability in Cairns from now through to the middle of April 2023.
“Cairns is a place like no other, wild experiences and memories that will last a lifetime”
Cairns is an adventurer's playground. Take a helicopter flight, go bungee jumping or take a balloon ride. Maybe skydiving or white water rafting is more your thing? For the less adventurous, you can snorkel in clear water, take a relaxing cruise or take a day trip to one of the many nearby tropical islands. Adventure, explore or just relax. The options are endless.

About Jason Ahmad
I’m Jason Ahmad – Senior Radiology Recruitment Partner at Prescript. I have worked in a number of health-related fields; however, medical recruitment has been the most enjoyable. I have more than 20 years of experience in areas such as Pathology, Medical Indemnity and GP Recruitment. This broad knowledge base allows me to understand the challenges faced by those in our field and therefore find solutions that often create enduring positive outcomes.
I am driven professionally by being able to create positive and meaningful health outcomes in rural and regional communities. It is immensely satisfying helping practices and hospitals find the right doctor for their permanent and locum positions, and I pride myself on finding optimal outcomes that balance doctor needs with practice requirements. Every time I make a placement, we are one step closer to solving the regional doctor shortage.
I see many opportunities for growth in the medical industry. I am particularly interested in seeing the barriers faced by International Medical Graduates lowered to facilitate their registration with the Australian Medical Board. As a cohort, they offer a very real solution to the enduring rural workforce shortage. I feel as a country, we have the resources and technology to do this without compromising patient safety.
Outside of work, I’m personally driven to encourage and support my two sons whose development are my greatest aspiration. Aside from a two-year stay in Melbourne, I have lived my entire life in Adelaide. I enjoy being outdoors when I can, and love a game of pool, and watching the cricket or football; especially at a live match. I have three cats and a dog who are sources of endless comfort and, at times, amusement.
