Prescript has partnered with a health service in the South Australian coastal city of Port Augusta due to locum requirements for Rural Generalists.
We’ve had great feedback from locums who have previously worked within this health service. This is an excellent opportunity to tailor your locum to suit you – choosing to focus on either solely ED or solely Inpatient work. With shifts available until the end of the year, you’ll be able to secure consistent and repeat locums throughout 2023.
Port Augusta is a small city in South Australia located around 3 hours drive from Adelaide.
During your time off, you’ll be able to embrace the abundance of nature that Port Augusta and the surrounding regions provide.
Known as ‘the gateway to the outback’, immerse yourself in the contrasting landscape of this region; one minute being on the edge of the desert and the next exploring the spectacularly contoured, undulating slopes of the Flinders Ranges. Not to mention Mount Remarkable – one of Australia’s best-kept secrets where you can experience beautiful views, gorges and excellent hikes. Enjoy wonderful 360-degree views at the Water Tower lookout, and visit the Australian Arid Lands Botanical Gardens, Wadlata Outback Centre and the Port Augusta Heritage Walk.

About Max Drakeley
I’m Max Drakeley - Prescript's Senior Recruitment Partner for locum and permanent Specialist Doctor positions across Australia. My genuine interest, passion, and knowledge within the hospital and healthcare industry means I am able to provide a highly tailored service to doctors and health services.
I focus on listening to and understanding the needs of everyone I work with. This allows me to place doctors in positions that perfectly suit their requirements, and provide health services with well-informed and competent doctors, so they can operate at a higher capacity and under less stress.
When not providing solutions to doctors and communities Australia-wide, I love to cook, travel, and spend time with my dog, Monty, and my partner at my home on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria. I’m a science nerd at heart and spend my spare time as an editor and author for a cutting-edge Biology magazine for year-12 and undergraduate students.
