“Be inspired by Gippsland's solitary beauty, from rugged coastlines and unspoiled beaches to forests of ferns and Mountain Ash – The region boasts breathtaking vistas at every turn”.

The Gippsland region makes up the southeastern part of Victoria, covers approximately 40,000 square kilometers and is home to nearly 300,000 people.

Gippsland is made up of four quadrants and we are offering Radiologists the chance to locum in central and/or eastern Gippsland. Specifically, the towns of Sale, Bairnsdale or Traralgon.

There is an urgent requirement in Sale 22nd February to Friday 24th February 2023, plus dates in March and April across all three practices. If you have other dates in mind, please contact Jason and he will assess the roster for suitability.

In East Gippsland, you can visit Ninety Mile Beach, one of the longest beaches in the world. You may prefer to visit Lakes Entrance, the Gippsland Lakes or the Rail Trail. In Central Gippsland, you can visit the Tarra Bulga National Park, Morwell River Falls Reserve or walk the Sale Heritage Trail.

Gippsland’s meandering roads are dotted with farm gates, waterfront villages, cellar doors, superb beaches, and farmers’ markets. The entire region is also considered an amazing dining destination with a plethora of great pubs and casual cafes.

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.
