RFDS Clinic - Outback NSW GP Opportunity - Your Chance To ‘Go Bush’

Are you a city-based doctor and eager for a change of pace? Prescript invites you to engage in a unique locum opportunity with an RFDS clinic in Warren - where the Australian Outback's tranquillity meets the rewarding realm of rural healthcare.

Dates are available from September 2023 until February 2024 (see below date ranges). You have the choice: either trial a short-term locum, or provide ongoing FIFO assistance and become a valued member of this health service.

Embrace the vibrant community spirit whilst making an impact that resonates far beyond the clinic doors. You'll find a welcoming community, captivating landscapes, and an opportunity to pioneer change.

The Position

Prescript would love to hear from fellow GPs who have an interest in providing primary care support to an outback Australian community.

This RFDS Warren clinic is no ordinary practice - it's a lifeline for a community in need. When the permanent doctor is assisting as a VMO in the local hospital, there is a huge demand for a locum GP - so you will have an enormous impact on the patients that you see. Your role is more than medical; it's an opportunity to engage in rewarding work, integrate yourself within the community and leave an indelible mark on the lives of those who call Warren home.

The warm and friendly team will welcome you with open arms, ensuring a seamless transition into your locum outback experience.

  • Best Practice software for familiar workflows

  • 9 am - 5 pm clinic hours, fostering an excellent work-life balance

  • Minimum 15-minute appointments for efficient care (opportunity to maximise your patient time)

  • Blend of primary care and chronic disease management

  • Collaborative environment with a part-time GP, plus other visiting GPs

  • Embrace the outback lifestyle - flexible around your current commitments

  • Fixed $1500 per day rate - no working from Medicare billings

Warren is easily accessible from Dubbo Airport with multiple flights per day from metro and regional areas. Or you might opt for a scenic drive to Warren and make the most of your locum journey.

  • 18th December - 22nd December 2023

  • 15th January - 9th February 2024 (critical block)
