Benefits Provided

• $150/hr standard rate (Medical Officer)

• $180/hr for Senior Medical Officers (OSTP approved)

• + $30/hr weekend uplift

• $230/hr public holiday rate

Locum GP – Correctional Health, Darwin NT

“A unique locum opportunity where your skills make a lasting difference”

At Prescript Recruitment, we specialise in connecting doctors with work that matters. Every placement we make contributes to our mission of addressing Australia’s regional doctor shortage, ensuring that communities across the country have access to the healthcare they deserve.

This opportunity places you at the heart of that mission. As a Locum GP at Darwin Correctional Centre, you will deliver essential healthcare to inmates while experiencing the culture, climate, and lifestyle that makes the Northern Territory such a special part of Australia. This is an opportunity to step into a role that goes beyond day-to-day medicine, offering the chance to make a real social impact while gaining valuable experience in an environment that is both unique and professionally rewarding.

The Position

We are seeking a Locum GP to provide primary care services at Darwin Correctional Centre. This is a varied and impactful role where your clinical expertise will support a vulnerable population, while your leadership will help guide the onsite health team.

Your responsibilities will include providing direct patient care, offering clinical leadership to nurses and Aboriginal Health Practitioners, and contributing to the delivery of mental health, alcohol and other drugs programmes. You will also play a key role in responding to medical emergencies and assisting with medical evacuations where required. In addition to your clinical duties, you will have the opportunity to mentor and upskill healthcare staff, contributing to a culture of continuous improvement within the team.

This is an opportunity to broaden your clinical experience while delivering care in a setting where every consultation directly contributes to improving access to quality healthcare.

Dates Available

This role commences from 31 March 2025, with placements available on an ongoing basis throughout 2025. A minimum commitment of three weeks is required.

Benefits Provided

This locum opportunity offers a daily rate of $2000 + GST.

All travel expenses are covered, including return economy flights from anywhere in Australia. Accommodation will be provided, along with a hire car for the duration of your placement.

Importantly, this is a Monday to Friday role, with no requirement to cover emergency, on-call, weekend or public holiday shifts.

As always, Prescript provides full concierge-level support, managing all logistics, credentialing and paperwork on your behalf, so you can focus entirely on your clinical work.

What We Require From You

To be considered for this role, you must hold current AHPRA Registration and Fellowship of either the RACGP or ACRRM. We may also consider non-specialist GPs with suitable experience.

Applicants must also be permanent residents, Australian citizens or hold a valid work visa.

Current certification in REST, ALS, ALS2 or APLS is required.

A current NT Police Check will also be required, however this can be organised for you once your placement is confirmed.

Previous correctional health experience is highly regarded but not essential — we welcome doctors who are keen to bring their skills into a new and rewarding environment.

Why This Role Matters

Correctional facilities are often overlooked when it comes to healthcare access, but the need for quality medical care within these settings is critical. Many inmates enter prison with complex, chronic, and untreated health issues, creating a significant gap in care. Your work will directly address that gap, improving both individual health outcomes and broader public health within the correctional system.

At Prescript, we exist to bridge the gap in regional healthcare, and we are proud to support doctors who share our commitment to improving access for all Australians, no matter where they are. With our specialist expertise in regional recruitment and our concierge-level service, we will ensure you are fully supported every step of the way — before, during and after your placement.

Your Next Steps

If you are interested in this opportunity or would like to learn more, please contact Ken Smith, Senior Recruitment Partner at Prescript Recruitment.

Ken can be reached on 0433 701 212 or via email at ken@prescript.com.au.

We look forward to helping you take the next step in your career and ensuring you are perfectly placed for this meaningful role.
