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!). 

 
“Prescript are medical recruitment specialists.”

At Prescript we’re known for helping solve the regional doctor shortage in Australia.

Every day we’re focused on two clear outcomes - Helping hospitals find doctors that create departments and clinics that run better, have more capacity and less stress. And placing Doctors in jobs that leave them feeling highly valued, rewarded and, most importantly, enjoying what they do.

We believe that when we get these two crucial things right, it has a huge impact on the regional doctor shortage and the healthcare of communities across Australia.

Swan Hill, Murray River - GP Locum - 2024 Dates

Are you a General Practitioner looking for an ongoing or short-term locum opportunity?

We are delighted to share this fantastic locum position at Swan Hill Medical Group located 4 hours from Melbourne. Dates are available throughout the whole of 2024 - enquire with your availability and we will tailor the locum to suit.

Swan Hill is a thriving regional Victorian town in the heart of the Murray River region. Enjoy water sports, boating, fishing, and golf, wineries and a vibrant arts and culture scene.

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.

You will have a fantastic 2-bedroom apartment provided, which is located within walking distance of the practice. This can also be configured with two single beds in the 2nd bedroom.

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.”

Dates Available

➞ 2024 dates - looking for 2-3 week placements throughout the year

The Benefits

★ $1700 per day 

★ Payment VIA ABN

★ No on-call, no ED work

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!).
