Lead in the Top End – Senior ED Locum - Rural Generalist / FACEM

August & September 2025

Katherine, NT

$3,000/day

Step into a senior Emergency role in the heart of the Northern Territory - where your leadership can make a lasting impact, and your time is genuinely valued. Katherine Hospital is seeking an experienced FACEM or FACRRM to take on a high-paying, well-supported locum without the burden of overnight or on-call shifts.

The Position

As Emergency Medical Coordinator, you’ll oversee a busy regional ED that handles around 25,000 presentations annually, including a high proportion of paediatric and Aboriginal health cases. This is a hands-on leadership position where you’ll provide clinical guidance to the ED team, support junior staff, and manage a wide range of cases - including trauma, neonatal, and medical emergencies. You’ll also work alongside a committed and collaborative nursing team, with access to telehealth and retrieval support from Royal Darwin Hospital.

Dates Available

  • 20 - 29 August 2025

  • 8 - 28 September 2025

Benefits Provided

  • $3,000/day

  • Return flights, car hire and accommodation covered

  • Streamlined NT credentialing

  • Prescript’s full support every step of the way

What We’re Looking For

  • A FACEM with experience leading regional or rural ED teams

  • A Rural Generalist with advanced emergency credentials (ACEM Certificate or Diploma welcome)

  • A doctor who’s confident managing a full scope of presentations - including paediatrics, neonates, and resus cases

  • Someone who thrives in collaborative environments and understands the nuances of rural and remote health care

  • Ready to step into a role with no on-call and a team that appreciates your experience and steady hand

Why This Role Stands Out

  • $3,000/day - generous daily rate, paid weekly

  • No on-call, no night shifts - ideal for balance and impact

  • All logistics covered - arrive and depart with ease

  • Short blocks - meaningful work without long commitments

  • Supportive environment - strong nursing team and local partnerships

Your Next Step

If you’re looking for a role where you can lead with confidence, earn exceptionally well, and make a meaningful difference - all without the pressure of night shifts or on-call - this is your opportunity. At Prescript, we’ll take care of the details so you can focus on what you do best.
