Rural Generalist (AMS) – Palm Island, QLD - Meaningful Work

At Prescript Recruitment, we place doctors where they’re needed most—and where they’ll make the biggest difference.

This locum opportunity on Palm Island is more than a clinical role—it’s a chance to work at the heart of a remote Aboriginal community, providing critical care in a setting where your presence is deeply valued.

Known as Bwgcolman, Palm Island lies 65 kilometres northeast of Townsville and is home to more than 40 Indigenous clan groups. It’s a culturally rich community with a strong sense of identity—and like many remote communities, it faces complex health challenges.

Here, your work will directly support continuity of care, improve access, and help shape long-term outcomes.

The Position

We are seeking an experienced Rural Generalist (FACRRM or FRACGP) with solid emergency medicine skills to join the team at Joyce Palmer Health Service (JPHS). Working alongside local services including the Palm Island Community Company (PICC)—an Aboriginal Medical Service—you’ll be part of a collaborative health response supporting the community across acute and primary care needs.

Key service details:

• 1–2 bed Emergency Department, averaging 22 presentations per day

• 11-bed inpatient ward, average occupancy of six

• 10-hour shifts with fatigue breaks provided

• On-call typically 1 in 2 or 1 in 3

This is a broad-scope role in a setting that calls for flexibility, confidence, and a strong commitment to culturally safe care.

Dates Available

30 June – 28 December 2025
Minimum placement: 2 weeks
Multiple blocks available throughout the period

What’s Provided

We handle all the details so you can focus on your work:

• Flights, accommodation, and a vehicle provided for the duration of your placement

• Daily rate negotiable, based on experience

• Full support from our credentialing and logistics team

• Early access to opportunities through our partnerships with regional and Aboriginal health services

What We’re Looking For

• Fellowship with ACRRM or RACGP

• Current ALS2 (or equivalent)

• Emergency and inpatient experience in rural or remote settings

• A collaborative, respectful approach to working with Aboriginal communities and multidisciplinary teams

Why It Matters

Your skills and presence will support critical healthcare delivery in a region that relies on visiting doctors to keep services running. This is the kind of work that safeguards continuity of care and upholds community trust in local health services.

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

NSW Coastal Locum | FACEM | April–June 2025

“A meaningful locum in a community that needs you – with time to breathe, explore, and bring the family along.”

At Prescript, we place doctors in the right roles for the right reasons — roles that support regional communities and give you the lifestyle, support, and flexibility you deserve.

This is an opportunity for FACEMs to join the teams at Batemans Bay and Moruya Hospitals during a critical staffing period. Whether you're available for just a few shifts or several weeks, your presence will help keep vital emergency services running for the communities who rely on them.

We understand what it takes to step into a new environment and make it easy — with concierge-level logistics and full support from the moment you express interest to the day you arrive.

The Position

You’ll work across one or both EDs at Batemans Bay and Moruya Hospitals, two coastal hospitals just 30 minutes apart. Each has its own character but a shared commitment to high-quality care.

Shift times available:

• 7:00am – 5:00pm

• 10:00am – 8:00pm

• 12:00pm – 10:00pm

• 9:30pm – 7:30am

Rate: $2,500 per day
On-call: None

You can choose a short stint or block-book across multiple weeks — whatever suits your calendar and lifestyle.

Dates Available

We are seeking coverage from April through June 2025.

There’s flexibility to tailor shifts around your availability — from as little as two shifts to week-long blocks or more.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Impact – Your skills help keep emergency departments running smoothly for regional communities who often face critical staff shortages.

• Location – Between the beaches, rivers, national parks, and small-town charm, this part of the NSW South Coast is perfect for a working escape.

• Flexibility – Choose when and how much you work. Fly in and out, or extend into a long weekend by the coast.

• Ease of Access – Just four hours' drive from Sydney, or 90 minutes from Canberra Airport.

• Family-Friendly – With local cafes, coastal walks, and wildlife on your doorstep, it’s a brilliant base to bring the family.

• Variety and Balance – Work across two different hospitals for a bit of variety — or stay at one site, depending on your preference.

What We Require From You

• FACEM

• Current AHPRA Specialist Registration

• A commitment to high-quality, team-based care

How We Support You

Prescript is a dedicated medical recruitment partner specialising in regional Australia. We handle every detail, including travel, accommodation, credentialing, and ongoing support. You’ll have a single point of contact throughout, ensuring a smooth and supportive experience from day one.

We exist to make roles like this easy, meaningful, and worth your time.
