This outback Queensland community suffers year-round from a lack of Diagnostic Radiology services.
A Radiologist spending a few days or even a week in this location can have a huge positive impact on the township and surrounding regions. As the sole Radiologist in their only hospital, the people of Mt Isa depend on you for access to high-quality Radiology services. They need your expertise to survive and thrive.
Prescript has locum dates in Mount Isa during March, April and May 2023 for $4,000 per day and we’d love your help if you have any availability to assist.
The Position
Services offered in the Medical Imaging Department include CT, XR, US, Fluoro, OPG, MRI, Mammo and Tier A Interventional procedures. The ability to perform deep organ biopsies would be highly regarded.
You will be working Monday to Friday with no on-call. Working public holidays is optional and of course, you’re welcome to bring the family.
During your time off, visit the Hard Times underground mine, Art Gallery and National Park. You may even wish to visit their underground hospital and museum or go for a walk through the botanical garden.
Experience the cool respite of Leichhardt River and the deep red Selwyn Ranges. Enjoy four-wheel driving, walking trails, freshwater swimming holes, fossil fields, golf, and fishing. Not to mention magnificent star gazing and spectacular sunsets. Lake Moondarra is 17km north from Mount Isa’s town centre and is home to many of the region’s pelicans! - It’s a great place for water sports and picnicking.

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.
