Carnarvon isn’t just a beautiful coastal town in Western Australia—it’s a community that relies on committed Rural Generalists to keep its healthcare services strong and accessible.
We’re working with Carnarvon Hospital to place experienced doctors in key Emergency Department roles. Whether you’re available for a few weeks or exploring future locum options, this is an opportunity to do meaningful work, fully supported by a team that understands what makes regional medicine both challenging and deeply rewarding.
The Position
As a Rural Generalist, you will play a vital role in a busy, well-supported Emergency Department that sees a broad spectrum of presentations. From acute emergencies to mental health and AOD-related cases, you’ll be trusted to make decisions and lead care with confidence.
This is a placement where your versatility, experience, and calm under pressure will make a tangible impact on the community—and be genuinely appreciated.
Shift patterns include:
08:00 to 18:00
10:00 to 20:00
19:00 to 04:00 (with on-call coverage to 08:00)
Dates Available
This locum is available from 3 April to 10 May 2025.
Shorter placements of two weeks or more are welcomed, and expressions of interest are open for doctors who may be available later in 2025. We’ll tailor the opportunity around your availability where possible.
What’s Provided
We offer concierge-level support to ensure every detail is taken care of—from travel to accommodation—so you can focus on delivering care.
$2,835 per day
Fully furnished accommodation arranged for the duration of your placement
Car hire reimbursement up to $100 per day for each rostered shift
Credentialing, compliance, and logistics managed by your dedicated Prescript partner.
What We’re Looking For
To be eligible for this role, you will need:
AHPRA Specialist Registration
Recent Emergency Department experience (within the last 12 months)
Confidence working independently, particularly on night shifts
Experience across GP, inpatient, and emergency care
A genuine interest in regional health and community-based medicine
Why Carnarvon?
Set against a backdrop of banana plantations and dramatic coastline, Carnarvon offers a laid-back lifestyle with a strong community spirit. You’ll be close to Ningaloo Reef, Shark Bay, and some of WA’s best natural landmarks—including the iconic Blowholes.
This is the kind of place where your work has immediate impact—and your days off are something to remember.
Your Next Step
We believe the best results come from placing the right doctor in the right role—and supporting them properly while they’re there.
