Work somewhere genuinely unforgettable. Take your Rural Generalist skills to Norfolk Island for a locum experience that combines broad-scope medicine with one of Australia’s most distinctive island destinations.
Prescript is seeking Rural Generalists for multiple blocks across August 2026 to March 2027, with $1,500 per day, travel and accommodation provided.
For doctors who enjoy variety, autonomy and practising broad-scope medicine in smaller communities, this is an opportunity to work somewhere very different from the usual locum circuit.
The Position
Working as a Rural Generalist on Norfolk Island, you’ll bring the adaptability and broad clinical capability that rural medicine demands.
This is the kind of environment where Rural Generalists can draw on experience across primary care, acute presentations and broader community healthcare while contributing meaningfully to a unique island service.
The package includes:
$1,500 per day
Travel provided
Accommodation provided
Standard roster
Multiple blocks available across 2026 and 2027
Full Prescript support before and throughout your placement
Available Dates
Current blocks include:
19 August – 18 September 2026
18 October 2026 – 8 January 2027
21 December 2026 – 22 January 2027
23 January – 18 February 2027
4 February – 3 March 2027
18 February – 17 March 2027
If you can cover only part of a block, we would still encourage you to get in touch so we can discuss what may be possible.
Why Norfolk Island?
There are locums you take for the work, and others you remember because of the experience.
Norfolk Island offers both.
Located in the Pacific Ocean between Australia and New Zealand, the island is known for its dramatic coastline, distinctive history, relaxed pace and close-knit community.
Outside work, you can explore coastal walking trails, beaches, national park, historic Kingston and Arthur’s Vale, or simply enjoy island life away from the pace of the mainland.
For Rural Generalists who enjoy combining meaningful clinical work with the opportunity to experience somewhere new, Norfolk Island is difficult to beat.
