Are you a General Practitioner looking for an ongoing or short-term locum opportunity and available from May 2023? We are delighted to share this fantastic locum position at Swan Hill Medical Group just 4 hours from Melbourne.

Swan Hill is a thriving regional town located in Victoria's heart of the Murray River region. Enjoy water sports, boating, fishing, and golf, wineries and a vibrant arts and culture scene. As this role is only Monday to Friday, you will have so much to do and see during your downtime.

If you're an experienced General Practitioner looking for a position that offers competitive compensation and the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients, this could be the locum for you.

The Position

This multi-doctor GP practice converted from bulk billing to private in December 2022. Working Monday to Friday with no ED or call means you have more time to enjoy your downtime, with your weekends free to explore.

The accommodation is beautiful and is within walking distance of the practice.

Feedback given about this locum from previous doctors proves what a warm, welcoming and efficiently run practice this is, with doctors wanting to return again.

Here’s some feedback we’ve received:

"A very well-run practice - in my experience, doctors leave for their reasons generally unrelated to the practice. I have very fond memories of Swan Hill."

"No ‘single visit, superficial tick-the-box’ practice here!”

“I called several times, eager to secure this placement because of the glowing reviews I had heard from fellow medical students. My expectations were met and exceeded. I most fondly recall the culture at SHMG; the staff were warm and highly skilled, and the patients appreciated your time. Because of this experience, I intend to work at SHMG after I have completed my training in the city.”

About Mel Houston

Hi, I'm Melissa Houston; I am one of the Senior Recruitment Partners at Prescript Recruitment, working with rural generalists and emergency medicine doctors across metro and regional Australia.

My experience covers over a decade of medical recruitment, specialising in senior doctors and solving the healthcare shortage.

I am an expert in working closely with hospitals, departments, and clinics to fill their critical vacancies. My success has included roster management, executive search projects and in-depth relationship building with locum doctors.

I love to work hard whilst injecting humour and fun into my day-to-day activities. I really enjoy meeting clients and doctors; as it stands, I think I've ticked off 100 hospitals that I have visited, and that is probably only touching the surface. I believe it's integral to matching doctors’ and clients’ needs and helps me better understand doctors' new roles.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my daughter and family. I'm a water baby at heart, so you'll often find me out on our family boat - sailing the beautiful waters of the Mornington Peninsula (where I live!).
