At Prescript Recruitment, we’re specialists in placing doctors where they’re needed most—and where they’ll thrive.
In partnership with Wide Bay Hospital and Health Service, we’re offering locum opportunities for experienced Rural Generalists who are ready for meaningful, well-supported work in some of Queensland’s most underrated and rewarding locations. These roles combine hands-on clinical diversity with the kind of lifestyle flexibility that reminds you why you chose medicine in the first place.
The Position
We’re seeking FACRRMs and FRACGPs with advanced emergency skills for a series of upcoming locum placements across the Wide Bay region. You’ll join a well-supported hospital network where your impact is immediate and your skills are truly valued.
Expect a mix of emergency and inpatient work, supported teams, and varied clinical presentations that stretch your scope and sharpen your skills. Whether you’re stepping back from a permanent role or exploring more flexible ways of working, these roles are designed to offer both challenge and reward.
Where You’ll Be
Just a short flight or half-day drive north of Brisbane, the Wide Bay region offers a mix of coastal and inland communities—think sugarcane fields, country pubs, and warm welcomes from tight-knit towns that genuinely appreciate your presence.
You might find yourself working a few hours from the stunning beaches of Hervey Bay or just inland from the iconic Bundaberg Rum distillery. It’s regional Queensland at its most authentic—relaxed, accessible, and full of opportunity.
Dates Available
We have a range of flexible locum blocks available from April to June 2025. Shifts include a mix of day, night, and on-call work. We’ll tailor the roster to your availability and preferences.
Some of the most in-demand dates are already booking quickly, so if you’re considering a placement in this window, now is the time to enquire.
What We Provide
This is more than a locum placement—it’s a fully supported experience, managed by people who care.
Competitive daily rate (available on request)
Paid overtime for shifts longer than 12 hours
Travel and accommodation booked and paid for
Genuine flexibility to fit around your lifestyle
Seamless credentialing support from our team
Access to a range of rural and coastal facilities within the one health service
We’ll take care of the details, so you can focus on delivering excellent care—and enjoying the downtime between shifts.
What We’re Looking For
Fellowship with ACRRM or RACGP
Specialist AHPRA registration
Recent emergency experience and current ALS
Full Australian or New Zealand working rights
You don’t need to have worked in this part of Queensland before—just bring your capability, curiosity, and commitment to making a difference.
What’s Next
If you’re looking for work that feels both purposeful and flexible, this is a great place to start. Let’s talk through the details and see if it’s the right fit.
