Locum Rural Generalist | April Dates | Be the Difference in Brewarrina NSW

Welcome to Brewarrina—known fondly as “Bre” by the locals. A quiet riverside town rich in Aboriginal history, it’s home to the world’s oldest man-made structures: the Ngunnhu fish traps. It’s also a place where your skills as a doctor can have a meaningful impact.

For one week in April, you have the chance to be the heart of this community’s care. This isn’t just a locum role—it’s an opportunity to lead, support, and be part of something bigger.

The Position

We’re looking for a capable and community-minded Rural Generalist to step into the lead role in Brewarrina’s health service.

You’ll be the sole doctor on-site, supported by a tight-knit and experienced nursing team and the regional health network in Bourke. It’s a role suited to someone with strong ED experience and the confidence to manage a broad scope of care.

What the week looks like:

  • Monday–Friday: Based primarily in General Practice, with light ED check-ins and ward rounds.

  • After-hours: On-call, with nurses covering Cat 3–5 presentations to ensure you’re only called when necessary.

  • The facility includes a 3-bed ED, 8 acute beds, 12-bed aged care wing, and a renal dialysis unit.

You’ll have the space to practise true generalist medicine and the support to do it well.

Dates Available

14 April – 21 April 2025 (7 days)
Let us know if you’re interested in future blocks—we’ll keep you first in line.

How to Get There

Despite its remote charm, Brewarrina is surprisingly accessible.

  • Fly into Dubbo or Bourke (depending on your home base), and we’ll coordinate the rest.

  • From there, we’ll arrange ground transport or a connecting flight straight to Brewarrina.

  • Prefer to drive? We’ll provide a fully covered hire car and make sure everything’s waiting for you when you arrive.

As always, our logistics team handles every detail so you can focus on what matters—great medicine and a great experience.

What We Provide

  • $3,000 per day

  • Travel, car, and accommodation fully covered

  • Concierge-level support with credentialing, logistics, and onboarding—all managed by your dedicated recruitment partner

What We’re Looking For

  • Fellowship with RACGP or ACRRM

  • ALS2 certification

  • Recent and relevant ED experience

  • A genuine commitment to rural health and a flexible, can-do approach

Why Prescript?

We do more than place doctors—we build partnerships that last. With deep roots in regional healthcare and a clear mission to solve Australia’s rural doctor shortage, we’re here to ensure your experience is seamless, supported, and meaningful.

Whether you’re chasing purpose, professional growth, or a well-paid escape from the usual routine—this role delivers on all fronts.

Step Into Outback Medicine: Locum as a Rural Generalist in Warm, Welcoming Julia Creek

Make a meaningful impact in a well-supported hospital, while enjoying the lifestyle and warmth of remote Queensland.

This is a locum opportunity for Rural Generalists who want to practise broad, meaningful medicine in a setting that values continuity, compassion, and clinical excellence. It’s also a chance to reconnect with the heart of healthcare — slower-paced, deeply human, and community-centred.

The Opportunity

Julia Creek Multi Purpose Health Service is a small, well-resourced Level 1 facility. You’ll join a capable and welcoming team that works closely to ensure seamless coverage and excellent support for incoming doctors.

You’ll work standard hours with on-call duties across the week, backed by strong telehealth support overnight. The facility includes residential aged care, short-stay inpatient beds, and a local palliative care service.

Role details:

  • Rural Generalist (FRACGP or FACRRM)

  • Monday to Friday, 8:00 am – 5:00 pm

  • On-call from 5:00 pm – 8:00 am, Monday to Thursday

  • Remote emergency support provided from 10:00 pm onwards

  • Mix of GP, emergency, aged care and palliative

This is a setting where your clinical judgment is trusted, your presence is appreciated, and you’ll be part of a team genuinely committed to rural healthcare.

Dates Available

We’re looking for doctors who are available between 5 May and 29 June 2025.
You can take on the full block or nominate one or more weeks — rosters are flexible and can be tailored to suit your availability.

What’s Included

Prescript provides full concierge-level support, from logistics to credentialing, so you can focus on delivering excellent care.

We’ll arrange:

  • Comfortable accommodation in town

  • A fleet car for your stay

  • Return travel allowance

  • A seamless onboarding experience through our credentialing team

  • Ongoing contact and support throughout your placement

The Location

Julia Creek offers the kind of lifestyle that makes rural placements so appealing. With warm, dry weather (32°C in April), red earth sunsets, and a calm pace of life, it’s a place where you can breathe — and reconnect with the core of your profession.

Outside of work, explore artesian baths, visit local attractions like the Punchbowl Waterhole, or meet the endangered Julia Creek Dunnart at the town’s visitor centre. It’s a family-friendly location, with walking trails, parks, and regular Rex flights from Townsville making access simple.

What We’re Looking For

To be considered, you’ll need:

  • Current specialist registration with AHPRA

  • FRACGP or FACRRM

  • Experience in rural or remote settings preferred

  • A collaborative, community-minded approach to patient care

Your Next Step

If you're looking for a purposeful locum opportunity where you can contribute your skills and experience in a supported, rewarding environment — this role is a standout.

We’re currently seeking a FACEM for flexible locum work at North West Regional Hospital in Burnie, Tasmania. Whether you’re looking for a quick two-day block or something longer, we’ll help you find the right fit—so you can focus on what matters most.

The Position

Burnie’s Emergency Department is part of a modern, 160-bed regional hospital that services Tasmania’s North West region and King Island. The ED team manages a wide range of presentations—from resus and trauma through to medical and minor injuries—with the support of solid infrastructure and well-established systems.

You’ll be joining a department that’s appropriately staffed and well run. Day shifts are supported by four FACEMs, with five to six ED Registrars or CMOs rostered across the 24-hour cycle. You’ll work alongside a collaborative team, with the right level of responsibility and support.

Dates Available

Shifts are available from 27 April to 24 May 2025, with a minimum booking of two to three shifts.

  • $3,600 per day for MOIC shifts

  • Travel booked and paid for

  • Private accommodation arranged

Our team handles the logistics so you can focus on delivering quality care, not paperwork or planning.

What We’re Looking For

You’ll be a FACEM with current AHPRA specialist registration, confident managing a variety of emergency presentations and comfortable working in a regional hospital environment. Previous experience in rural or remote settings is valued, but not essential.

We’re looking for doctors who care about doing high-quality work and making a genuine contribution to the communities they serve.

Next Steps

This is regional emergency medicine at its best—challenging, collaborative, well-supported, and based in a part of the country where you can truly unwind between shifts. Whether you're stepping away from a permanent role or just seeking a short-term change, we're here to help make it seamless.

You’ll leave a meaningful impact—and you’ll likely want to return.
