Rockhampton - Location Report

QUINTESSENTIAL ROCKHAMPTON

“Welcome to Rockhampton (‘Rocky’ to its mates), where the hats, boots and utes are big…but the bulls are even bigger. With over 2.5 million cattle within a 250km radius of Rockhampton, it’s called Australia’s Beef Capital for a reason. This sprawling country town is the administrative and commercial centre of central Queensland, its wide streets and fine Victorian-era buildings (take a stroll down Quay St) reflecting the region’s prosperous 19th-century heyday of gold and copper mining and beef-cattle industry.
”

— Lonely Planet

INTRODUCING 'ROCKY'

Rockhampton, on the Tropic of Capricorn in Queensland, is a town of about 80,000 people with a historic and elegant feel.  It is only a one hour flight from Brisbane and the airport is a 5 minute cab ride away, making the journey there quick and easy.

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE BEEF

Did you know Rockhampton is the Beef Capital of Australia (there are over 2 million cattle within a 250km radius!) and they hold a 'Beef Week' every three years?  The town comes alive with social events, music and celebrity chefs who demonstrate all the different ways you can cook with beef.

VISIT A ZOO IN YOUR LUNCH BREAK (FOR FREE!)

Where else could you walk 5 minutes from your workplace and find yourself wandering around a zoo?  Nestled within the Botanic Gardens, the Rockhampton Zoo is a great place to get up-close to koalas, emus and kangaroos.  Go mid-week and you won't have to compete with any crowds.  Free entry, but a gold coin donation is welcomed.

WHERE TO STAY & WHERE TO EAT

• Empire Apartment Hotel
• Edge Apartment Hotel

Lots of food options for you to try.  In the Empire Apartment Hotel building is a Ribs & Rumps (no prizes for guessing what's on the menu), an Italian called Pacino's, plus a Coffee Club. Nearby on William Street is the Ginger Mule, a tapas & cocktail bar that is famous for its steak.

Radiologists - Live in NZ & Locum in Australia

• Fancy some tropical sunshine?
• Like to earn extra $$$ for a special gift, project or just the mortgage?
• Want to give your family a new experience in a new location?

---

There are all sorts of reasons New Zealand radiologists love to come and locum in Australia, but how does it work?

Here is an overview of the steps we take at Prescript to make it easy for you….and some wonderful locations to inspire you!

“By the way, I’m a New Zealander, from Nelson, who moved to Australia 15 years ago. I will always be a Kiwi though and visit family regularly. My experience gives me an affinity with other New Zealanders, and the questions you may have about working here, whether for a few days or longer term”

— Nicola Speer

---

WHAT IS A LOCUM?

A locum, meaning in this case, a temporary job in a hospital or imaging clinic, gives an immense amount of freedom and scope for Kiwi radiologists. We guide you through to make it seamless and time efficient – see more on this below.

Typically you can locum for a minimum of 5 days, through to monthly blocks. Some radiologists have come to locum and loved it so much, they have transferred into a permanent role in Australia and stayed.

Another option for anyone wishing to spend a few months or a year exploring Australia, is for us to arrange back-to-back locums for you in locations that appeal to you. This is a wonderful way to see the country, and be paid.

The admin & organisation is very much taken care of by Prescript. This typically includes flights for you as the doctor, being booked and paid for; accommodation for the duration of your locum; and a rental car. 

You are paid a generous daily rate, in Australian dollars. We work personally with you to ensure you have all the information you need regarding how you’re paid and how to understand your tax obligations.

---

WHERE CAN I LOCUM?

Now for the juicy bit! When you have a country as vast and diverse as Australia, you’re never going to be short of choice. In fact, choosing just where you want to go, can sometimes be a bit daunting and that we can certainly provide help with.

When we talk to New Zealand radiologists, we discuss all aspects of time-availability and professional skill and interest, but also your personal and lifestyle preferences and those of your family, if you’re traveling with a partner and children.

Considerations to discuss with us may be about the time of year, climate and season. It may be regarding your preferences for city life, out-back adventure, tropical beaches, rural locations or Aboriginal communities. It may be you have family ties or friends somewhere here in Australia and want to spend some time with them. Whatever the case, it’s important to let us know so that we can accurately tailor this into the locum work we arrange for you.

---

HOW TO LOCUM?

Let’s break this into some easy steps – the details will be personal and tailored to you, but we hope this gives you some sense of the way the process flows.

1. Connect via the button below or directly with me – this is an easy and quick process and there is never any obligation, it just gives us a starting point for learning what you may like to do.
2. I'll chat to you at a time to suit – after work-hours is fine too. Either by telephone or Skype,  your choice. 
3. We talk through registration and confirm your eligibility to work here.
4. Then it’s all about the 'WHEN & WHERE'.
5. Fly in, connect with your new locum location and enjoy the change of scenery – Sweet as!

If you’d like to explore the idea of a locum in Australia, or indeed, if you’re considering a permanent move here, please drop me a line or contact us through our easy registration form below.

Thank you!
