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)
