These roles combine hands-on clinical diversity with the kind of lifestyle flexibility that reminds you why you chose medicine in the first place.

Dates Available

We have a range of flexible locum blocks available from April to June 2025. Shifts include a mix of day, night, and on-call work. We’ll tailor the roster to your availability and preferences.

Some of the most in-demand dates are already booking quickly, so if you’re considering a placement in this window, now is the time to enquire.

What We Provide

This is more than a locum placement—it’s a fully supported experience, managed by people who care.

• Competitive daily rate (available on request)

• Paid overtime for shifts longer than 12 hours

• Travel and accommodation booked and paid for

• Genuine flexibility to fit around your lifestyle

• Seamless credentialing support from our team

• Access to a range of rural and coastal facilities within the one health service

We’ll take care of the details, so you can focus on delivering excellent care—and enjoying the downtime between shifts.

What We’re Looking For

• Fellowship with ACRRM or RACGP

• Specialist AHPRA registration

• Recent emergency experience and current ALS

• Full Australian or New Zealand working rights

You don’t need to have worked in this part of Queensland before—just bring your capability, curiosity, and commitment to making a difference.

Flexible Locum GP & Rural Generalist Roles – Low On-Call: Step Into the Heart of Victoria

New dates available.

At Prescript Recruitment, we understand that the right locum role can make all the difference — for your lifestyle, your career, and your sense of purpose. That’s why we’re excited to share these excellent opportunities for GPs and Rural Generalists with Mallee Track Health and Community Service, covering two locations: Ouyen and Sea Lake.

These roles are a great fit for experienced Rural Generalists, or GPs looking to explore rural locum work with minimal on-call requirements. If you’ve been thinking about stepping into rural practice — or stepping back into it after time away — these are excellent entry points.

The Position

These locum roles cover general practice, community health and occasional urgent care. You’ll work alongside experienced Practice Nurses, with the support of visiting specialists and the broader health service team.

The work is varied, rewarding, and perfect for doctors who value continuity of care in a community-focused setting.

Where You’ll Be – Location & Travel Information

Both Ouyen and Sea Lake are located in Victoria’s stunning Mallee region, known for its wide-open spaces, welcoming communities, and iconic sunsets.

• Ouyen is approximately 5.5 hours by car from Melbourne. If you prefer to fly, you can fly into Mildura, then it’s just a 1.5-hour drive south.

• Sea Lake is slightly closer to Melbourne, around 4 hours by car, making it one of the more accessible rural locum spots for Victorian-based doctors.

Both towns offer a friendly, community-focused feel, with strong local support networks, and the health service takes care of all travel arrangements — so getting there is easy and stress-free.

Dates Available

Ouyen

• 14 to 25 April 2025

• 12 to 30 May 2025

Sea Lake

• 19 to 23 May 2025

NEW DATES to the end of 2025 are available. Enquire to find out more!

Benefits Provided

• $1,600 per day (no on-call)

• Up to $1,800 per day (with on-call, negotiable)

• Fully furnished accommodation provided (2-bedroom in Ouyen, 1-bedroom directly opposite the hospital in Sea Lake)

• All meals provided

• Travel reimbursed

• Fleet car provided if needed

• Strong nursing support – Practice Nurse available 3-4 days per week

• Visiting RFDS Women’s GP and other allied health specialists regularly visiting the service

What We Require From You

• Current Specialist AHPRA registration

• FRACGP or FACRRM (or equivalent) preferred, but GPs wanting to try rural locuming are encouraged to apply

• General practice experience (rural or regional experience is a bonus, but not essential)

• A collaborative approach and interest in providing community-centred care

Why This Role Stands Out

• Low-stress, community-focused rural locum – a great first step into locum work for city-based GPs

• Minimal urgent care presentations – ideal for GPs who want rural variety without heavy emergency work

• Flexible dates with a supportive local health team

• Genuine impact – become a trusted, valued part of a welcoming rural community
