This locum offers more than just excellent daily rates — it’s a chance to work in well-run clinical settings, make a tangible impact in regional healthcare, and enjoy the support and structure that allows you to focus on your clinical work.
With $4000/day, no on-call, and no weekend work required, it’s a straightforward, well-supported placement in a welcoming Tasmanian community.
The Position
You’ll be working in either a clinic within a public hospital setting in Mersey or a private clinic in Devonport, both located in North Western Tasmania. These are well-organised, well-supported environments — and each locum is tailored to your individual skill set.
Your week will typically involve:
A mix of general radiology (diagnostic reporting)
Around 5–6 Tier A procedures per day, such as CT-guided injections and MSK ultrasound
Option to book injection clinics if you prefer a more procedural locum
For radiologists with an interest in breast/mammo, we can arrange fit-for-purpose weeks that reflect your scope
The teams you’ll be joining are genuinely friendly and supportive. Technical staff and IT systems are reliable, so your experience is smooth and professionally satisfying from start to finish.

About the Locations
Set along Tasmania’s vibrant North West coast, Devonport and Mersey offer a unique mix of coastal living, community warmth, and easy access to the kind of natural beauty Tasmania is known for.
Devonport is a lively regional city, perched at the mouth of the Mersey River. With excellent coffee spots, scenic coastal walks, and a strong sense of local community, it’s a great base for a locum week. You’ll find all the essentials — plus plenty of small-town charm — with the added bonus of being close to beaches, farmland, and ferries that link directly to the mainland.
Nearby, Mersey is set within easy reach and offers a more low-key environment, still well connected but a little more tucked away. It’s an ideal spot if you’re after a straightforward, well-supported work week without big-city distractions — and want space to unwind between shifts.
Both locations are well-serviced, well-regarded by visiting doctors, and give you the chance to see a different side of Australia while contributing to services that really value your time and skill.
Getting There
Both locations are easy to access, with Prescript coordinating your travel.
Flights: The nearest airport is Devonport Airport, with regular connections via Melbourne. Alternatively, Launceston Airport is a 90-minute drive away and offers more flexible flight options.
Car hire is included and waiting on arrival — giving you freedom to explore the coastline during your downtime.
If you're travelling from New Zealand, we’ll coordinate flights to align smoothly with local connections and make the journey seamless.
