If you’ve ever thought about combining rewarding locum work with a tropical escape, this is the moment. Mackay is one of Queensland’s best-kept secrets: a vibrant coastal city with a relaxed pace of life, welcoming community, and easy access to the Whitsundays, Great Barrier Reef, and stunning national parks.
And here’s something truly unique – on top of an exceptional $4000/day rate, you’ll receive $2000 in paid travel days ($1000 each way). It means your time is valued from the moment you step out the door, not just when you arrive.
With direct flights from Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne – and convenient connections across Australia and New Zealand – getting here is simple. The airport is just 15 minutes from the city, so you can step off the plane and into your accommodation or straight to the coast.
Alongside short-term locums, there are also permanent and part-time opportunities available with highly attractive remuneration and career-development pathways.
The Position
You’ll join a well-established private imaging group with a strong reputation for quality and patient care across Queensland and beyond. Expect:
Modern facilities and advanced equipment – MRI, CT, ultrasound, mammography, OPG, X-ray, BMD, nuclear medicine.
Tailored case mix – reporting and procedures aligned to your interests and experience, including Tier A injections.
Collegial, supportive team culture – you’ll be working with people who value both professional excellence and lifestyle balance.
This is a role designed to make your locum experience seamless, supportive, and personally rewarding.
