When was the last time you took on a locum that truly felt like a working holiday — but also made a real difference?
Prescript Recruitment is proud to partner with Norfolk Island Health Service to place experienced Rural Generalists in one of Australia’s most unique island communities. This isn’t just another short-term role — it’s a chance to be the doctor that keeps care accessible in a remote community while enjoying the unmatched beauty of life on Norfolk Island.
At Prescript, we specialise in regional and remote medical placements — locum, telehealth, and permanent. And we do it with care. You’ll have a dedicated recruitment partner and full concierge-level support to handle every detail so you can focus on what matters.
The Position
You’ll be joining a collaborative team of doctors providing both primary care and emergency support to the community and its visitors. The hospital and Multi-Purpose Centre are well-equipped for the size of the population and you’ll be supported by capable local clinicians and nursing staff. Emergency cover is shared, and the roster is designed to give you time to recharge and explore.
Expect a varied, community-facing role where you’ll quickly feel part of the team — and the island.

Emily Bay, with its clear turquoise waters and protected reef, is regularly voted one of Australia’s top beaches — and it’s right on your doorstep.
