This isn’t just another locum placement. This is an opportunity to connect your skills to real community need, delivering primary care in a culturally grounded health setting built in partnership with local people on Barkindji Country in far western New South Wales.
At Prescript, we specialise in placing doctors where their work has the greatest impact – and we take care of every detail so you can focus entirely on medicine. When you step into this Aboriginal Medical Service (AMS) clinic, you’ll feel the difference immediately: a welcoming environment, a community-first approach, and a team deeply committed to improving health outcomes in their community.
The Role
You’ll be providing holistic primary care in a clinic-only role: no hospital, no after-hours, and no on-call. The focus is on continuity of care – from general consultations and chronic disease management to mental health, child and family health, and visiting specialist clinics.
Clinic Snapshot:
Monday to Friday, 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM (1-hour lunch break)
Best Practice software
Multidisciplinary support team including a Nurse Manager, Aboriginal Health Practitioners, and registered nurses
Bulk-billed, community-first care model
About the Location – Wilcannia, NSW
