Prescript has new locum dates in sunny Cairns throughout October, November and December 2023 (and beyond into 2024!).
With its stunning coastal landscapes, lush rainforests, and vibrant culture, Cairns provides the perfect backdrop for your next radiology locum. During your time off, explore the Great Barrier Reef, enjoy the rich biodiversity of the Daintree Rainforest, and savour the laid-back lifestyle of this coastal city.
The Position
We are proud to collaborate with several esteemed radiology partners in Cairns, including both clinic and hospital-based facilities.
These health services are renowned for providing comprehensive imaging and specialised services across various modalities. You will play a crucial role in delivering high-quality care.
Onsite radiologists are expected to report up to 100 cases per day, with fewer cases if interventions are required.
Working hours are from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM on weekdays, with no weekend shifts or on-call duties.
Some sites have multiple radiologists on-site, while in others, you may be the sole radiologist.
Services include a mix of US, MRI, CT, OPG, BMD, PET/ CT, Nuclear Medicine, Spinal Injections, Cardiac Imaging, Mammography, X-ray, and IR. If you do not perform some of these, our radiology partner will create a patient list to match your skills and experience. We are looking for a Tier A or Tier B radiologist. For Tier B’s, some general reporting will be required.

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.
