Locum Jobs

The best things in life are balanced.

Are you a Doctor currently feeling overwhelmed by the pressure and demands of your current position? Consider a Locum role.


With locum work, you can take charge of your schedule, reignite your passion for medicine and reclaim your personal time. It's a chance to explore diverse medical settings and prioritise your well-being and job satisfaction.

Experience the balance you deserve - give locum work a try!

A Locum physician placement will allow you to blend work and play like no other job.


With short term placements, Doctors get the chance to travel and explore Down Under while working through several fulfilling medical postings. Explore the sights of the big city, tackle the surf on Australia’s beautiful beaches or bush trek in the immense Outback – the choice is yours!

So, how is a locum GP job different from a normal GP job?

The placement will usually be 2 weeks or longer, but it is not unheard of for locum spells to last a week or even a weekend! Many doctors take locum jobs to fill periods of high need, which means length of placements can vary greatly. It also depends on the kind of placement you want.


Your Doctor Jobs can find you the perfect Australian locum doctor job that balances career satisfaction with a satisfying social life.

What are the benefits of being a locum GP in Australia?

In Australia, doctors are spoilt for choice with a range of different locations to work in and travel to. With so many options available to locum doctors, flexibility in commitments to a GP role is vital to ensure you get to experience everything you want to!


Another advantage of locum doctor jobs is the opportunity to gain experience in a number of different roles in a short period of time. If you have been stuck in the same GP position for years, the best way to shake off the cobwebs is to seek out new experiences, and lots of them. With locum placements, you can learn more in a year than in decades in the same old role!


A third benefit of taking a locum doctor job and starting your great Australian adventure is the chance you get to make new friendships that will last a lifetime. By travelling through a number of locations Down Under, you'll meet a variety of people, and you never know what opportunities may come from expanding your network!
