About Mel Houston

Hi, I'm Melissa Houston; I am one of the Senior Recruitment Partners at Prescript Recruitment, working with rural generalists and emergency medicine doctors across metro and regional Australia.

My experience covers over a decade of medical recruitment, specialising in senior doctors and solving the healthcare shortage.

I am an expert in working closely with hospitals, departments, and clinics to fill their critical vacancies. My success has included roster management, executive search projects and in-depth relationship building with locum doctors.

I love to work hard whilst injecting humour and fun into my day-to-day activities. I really enjoy meeting clients and doctors; as it stands, I think I've ticked off 100 hospitals that I have visited, and that is probably only touching the surface. I believe it's integral to matching doctors’ and clients’ needs and helps me better understand doctors' new roles.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my daughter and family. I'm a water baby at heart, so you'll often find me out on our family boat - sailing the beautiful waters of the Mornington Peninsula (where I live!).

GP Indigenous Health Locums - Northern Territory - Up to $2000 Per Day

Prescript requires locum GPs to assist in the NT communities of Borroloola and Jabiru for up to $2000 per day.

Dates are available from October 2023 to February 2024 - minimum of three-week blocks accepted for continuity of care.

This is a fantastic opportunity to make a significant difference within Indigenous Health in a spectacular part of Australia. Borroloola and Jabiru are two distinct gems in the Northern Territory, offering unique and enriching experiences that showcase the Indigenous cultures and natural wonders of Australia. These communities stand as testaments to the resilience and vibrant traditions of the First Nations people.

We invite locum GPs to provide vital support to these communities and immerse themselves in the beauty of the Australian Outback.

The Position

Work is undertaken in a multi-disciplinary team delivering clinical and public health services to the residents of the community and surrounding outstations.

Clinical support is provided by the Care Flight & District Medical Service via telephone consultations and medical retrievals. Royal Darwin Hospital is the regional hospital and provides tertiary care.

Clinic hours are from 8 am to 5 pm, Monday to Friday. You will have an induction in Darwin on your first day if you have not worked in the region recently.

Borroloola, nestled on the McArthur River in the Gulf of Carpentaria, is a remote Indigenous community that proudly maintains its strong Aboriginal heritage. The town is known for its stunning natural beauty, with its rugged landscapes, vibrant wildlife, and rich cultural traditions. The indigenous Yanyuwa and Gudanji people call this place home, and their deep connection to the land is evident in their art, storytelling, and traditional practices. Visitors to Borroloola have the opportunity to experience this unique blend of culture and nature, with opportunities to engage in fishing, learn about Dreamtime stories, and witness traditional dances that have been passed down through generations.

Jabiru, on the other hand, is situated within the boundaries of the renowned Kakadu National Park. This town serves as the gateway to the park and offers a different but equally captivating experience. Jabiru is a hub for eco-tourism and conservation efforts, providing a base for visitors looking to explore the park's diverse ecosystems, ancient rock art sites, and abundant wildlife. Kakadu is not only a place of stunning natural beauty but also a significant cultural landscape for the Indigenous Bininj/Mungguy people who have inhabited the area for thousands of years. Visitors can engage in guided tours to learn about the cultural significance of the land, witness breathtaking waterfalls, and admire the striking landscapes that have inspired countless artists and storytellers.

“Prescript are medical recruitment specialists.”

At Prescript we’re known for helping solve the regional doctor shortage in Australia.

Every day we’re focused on two clear outcomes - Helping hospitals find doctors that create departments and clinics that run better, have more capacity and less stress. And placing Doctors in jobs that leave them feeling highly valued, rewarded and, most importantly, enjoying what they do.

We believe that when we get these two crucial things right, it has a huge impact on the regional doctor shortage and the healthcare of communities across Australia.

There are three ways to contact us:
