This is more than a locum—it’s a chance to make a real difference in a well-run, well-supported regional hospital. Narrabri, located in the heart of north-west NSW, offers a rewarding blend of low patient volume, clinical autonomy, and strong local backup.
Whether you fly in daily from Sydney (just a short flight) or enjoy the open road with a scenic 6-hour drive, Narrabri is easy to reach—and hard to forget. You’ll be joining a hospital that values your presence, in a town that will welcome you in.
At Prescript, we focus on more than just placements. We connect you with work that matters—while ensuring every detail, from credentialing to accommodation, is taken care of.
