Ready for a locum that feels like an adventure?

Mount Isa offers more than just a snapshot of Outback life - it’s a modern hospital hub delivering high-calibre imaging services to communities that depend on it. These locum placements give you access to an impressive caseload, advanced equipment, and a chance to make a meaningful impact in a region where your skills are genuinely valued.

You’ll work alongside a collaborative team in a newly upgraded facility, with time built in to explore the stunning landscapes, rich cultural history, and wide-open skies of far western Queensland.

We’ve secured a series of locum dates - perfect for radiologists wanting to balance rewarding clinical work with a seamless, fully supported experience.

The Position

This is a hands-on, hospital-based radiology role at the heart of the Mount Isa health service - the main referral centre for Queensland’s North West. The department is newly refurbished and well-equipped, offering a wide range of modalities and the opportunity to work with a high degree of clinical autonomy.

You’ll be the sole radiologist onsite, supported by a skilled team, and your caseload will be matched to your strengths. There is excellent scope for both general reporting and procedural work, including complex Tier A cases. If you have expertise in MRI, breast imaging, or interventional radiology (Tier B), these will be actively supported and incorporated into your worklist.

Modalities include:

• General X-ray

• Ultrasound

• CT

• MRI

• Mammography

• OPG

• Echocardiography

• Interventional procedures (aligned to your skillset)
