Locum GP – Week On, Week Off in Coastal QLD | Low-Acuity ED + Flexible HITH Model

Looking for a locum that lets you contribute to meaningful, patient-centred care — without sacrificing lifestyle? This is it.

At Prescript Recruitment, we’re dedicated to placing doctors in roles where their skills are valued and their time well spent. This flexible, week-on/week-off opportunity at Bundaberg Hospital gives you a rare chance to be part of a service that’s reshaping how healthcare is delivered in regional Queensland.

The Position

You’ll join the Hospital in the Home (HITH) team — an established, forward-thinking service that provides acute hospital-level care to patients in their own homes or community settings. Patients remain under hospital care while receiving daily visits or remote follow-up from the clinical team, reducing the need for in-hospital stays and supporting better outcomes.

Your role is primarily based in the ED’s low-acuity clinic, managing minor procedures and urgent care-style presentations. It’s a blend of general practice and hospital medicine — with possible weekend oncall, and weekday hours (0830–1730).

The HITH model is part of Queensland Health’s broader commitment to delivering flexible, high-quality care outside traditional hospital walls. It suits GPs who want to stay sharp across a range of presentations while being part of a service that is clinically respected, patient-focused, and innovating for the future.

Dates Available

• 22 – 29 September 2025

• 6 – 10 October 2025

• 20 – 24 October 2025

• 3 – 7 November 2025

Benefits Provided

• $1,950 per day – payroll with salary packaging or PTY Ltd invoicing available (paid weekly)

• Travel covered – flights or mileage up to $1,000

• Accommodation & car – up to $150/day (plus one travel day)

• Car hire only – $60/day when accommodation is arranged separately

• Prescript concierge support – we manage your credentialing, logistics and onboarding from start to finish

Why This Role Matters

This isn’t just a locum — it’s a step into a future-facing model of care that’s already delivering results. Bundaberg’s HITH program gives patients hospital-level care at home, freeing up hospital beds and empowering patient recovery in familiar settings. And it gives you, as a GP, the chance to practise across ED-adjacent urgent care with the support of an efficient, collaborative hospital team.

Bundaberg itself offers more than just sunshine — it’s a gateway to the Southern Great Barrier Reef with national parks, friendly locals, and an easy-going lifestyle that’s hard to beat.

What We’re Looking For

• FRACGP (or equivalent)

• General practice background with confidence in urgent care and minor procedures

• AHPRA specialist registration

Locum Rural Generalist – Port Lincoln, SA - Coastal Views & Work with Impact

At Prescript, we place doctors where they’re needed most — and where they’ll thrive.

This is one of those opportunities: a rewarding locum role in the heart of South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula, where your clinical skills will be valued, your contribution will be visible, and your downtime will be spent by the sea.

Port Lincoln Hospital is well-organised and well-supported, and you’ll be backed by a Consultant Physician and a friendly, capable clinical team. We’ll take care of all the logistics — so you can focus on delivering great care and enjoying everything this unique coastal community has to offer.

The Position

We’re seeking a GP or Rural Generalist (FACRRM or FRACGP) to support general medicine wards at Port Lincoln Hospital.

You’ll be rostered alongside another senior doctor (0800–2000, where applicable), with additional Consultant support during business hours and on-call overnight. This is a senior post with responsibility for supervising junior doctors — ideal for those with experience in hospital-based general medicine.

Please note: Physicians are not accepted for this role.

• Work in a well-supported hospital with strong Consultant backing

• Explore a destination famous for its seafood, sea lions, and untouched coastline

Where You'll Be – Port Lincoln, South Australia

Port Lincoln sits on the southern tip of the Eyre Peninsula — a laid-back coastal town known for its fresh seafood, rugged beaches, and sense of space. It’s often called Australia’s seafood capital, and for good reason: the town is home to the country’s largest commercial fishing fleet, and the local fare is exceptional.

Outside of work, you can swim with sea lions, take a seafood tour, explore the national park, or simply enjoy the ocean views from a local café.

Getting there is easy:

• Fly direct from Adelaide to Port Lincoln – 50-minute flight, several departures daily

• Prescript covers your return flights, airport transfers, and car hire, so your travel is smooth from start to finish

What We’re Looking For

• Current Fellowship with FRACGP or ACRRM

• Proven hospital-based General Medicine experience

• Current ALS2 or equivalent (e.g., RESP)

• Confidence supervising junior doctors

• Sunrise EMR training is highly desirable

• AHPRA Specialist Registration

Why This Role Is in High Demand

High-paying, coastal roles in well-supported hospitals don’t stay available for long — especially when they fall during April and July school holidays. Port Lincoln is a standout location, offering the ideal mix of professional reward and personal escape.

Locum Rural Generalist Opportunities – First Access Through Our New RDWA Partnership

Prescript Recruitment is proud to be working with the Rural Doctors Workforce Agency (RDWA) — a respected organisation dedicated to building and sustaining strong, accessible healthcare across rural and remote South Australia.

This collaboration goes beyond recruitment. It’s about backing the GPs who keep rural communities running — and offering you the chance to step into well-supported, meaningful locum placements across the state.

RDWA runs an exceptional Locum Relief Program designed to support rural communities and the hardworking doctors who serve them. The program allows permanent GPs to take well-deserved leave, confident their patients are in the care of highly skilled, compassionate professionals. Unlike some other locum placements, these aren’t crisis or high-pressure postings. Instead, they’re well-organised, well-supported, and well-loved practices — simply in need of short-term cover for regular staff breaks.

And by becoming part of the Prescript doctor community, you’re getting first access before these roles are advertised more broadly.

The Position

We’re seeking experienced Locum Rural Generalists for short-term placements across South Australia. These roles are primarily based in GP clinics, with some requiring shared ED on-call coverage.

ED requirements vary by site. Some towns involve fewer hours but a more intense pace when you are called in. Others include 24/7 on-call with minimal overnight disruptions — often just one recall per night. This creates an excellent balance between variety and lifestyle, with clear expectations from the outset.

Where You Might Go

Placements are spread across some of South Australia’s most welcoming rural communities — including the Riverland, Yorke Peninsula, Eyre Peninsula, the Mid-Murray, and Outback regions. Many towns are an easy drive from Adelaide, with some accessible by direct flights.

Each location has its own rhythm — from coastal communities with relaxed beachside charm, to agricultural hubs with rich local histories and a strong sense of community. You’ll enjoy friendly local teams, a slower pace outside the clinic, and a genuine connection to the people you’re supporting.

And if you're based in South Australia, did you know two of the Prescript team are Adelaide-based? You're always welcome to visit our CBD office for a coffee or lunch — we'd love to connect in person.

Benefits Provided

• Attractive daily rates, with additional incentives for procedural and high-demand placements

• Travel, car and accommodation included

• Fast Friday payments

• First access to roles before they go public

• Concierge-style logistics and credentialing support

• Work with a team that values your time, skill and experience

What We Require From You

• Current AHPRA specialists registration

• Fellowship with RACGP or ACRRM

• Strong primary care and emergency medicine skills

• A collaborative, can-do attitude

• Commitment to supporting rural communities with quality care

Your Next Step

These are placements where your skills are appreciated and your presence genuinely matters.

Join us in delivering real impact — and enjoy the support of a recruitment partner who understands the work you do.

Outside of work, explore artesian baths, visit local attractions like the Punchbowl Waterhole, or meet the endangered Julia Creek Dunnart at the town’s visitor centre. It’s a family-friendly location, with walking trails, parks, and regular Rex flights from Townsville making access simple.

Rural Generalist (AMS) – Palm Island, QLD - Meaningful Work

At Prescript Recruitment, we place doctors where they’re needed most—and where they’ll make the biggest difference.

The Position

We are seeking an experienced Rural Generalist (FACRRM or FRACGP) with solid emergency medicine skills to join the team at Joyce Palmer Health Service (JPHS).

This is a broad-scope role in a setting that calls for flexibility, confidence, and a strong commitment to culturally safe care.

Dates Available

30 June – 28 December 2025
Minimum placement: 2 weeks
Multiple blocks available throughout the period

What’s Provided

We handle all the details so you can focus on your work:

• Flights, accommodation, and a vehicle provided for the duration of your placement

• Daily rate negotiable, based on experience

• Full support from our credentialing and logistics team

• Early access to opportunities through our partnerships with regional and Aboriginal health services

What We’re Looking For

• Fellowship with ACRRM or RACGP

• Current ALS2 (or equivalent)

• Emergency and inpatient experience in rural or remote settings

• A collaborative, respectful approach to working with Aboriginal communities and multidisciplinary teams

Why It Matters

Your skills and presence will support critical healthcare delivery in a region that relies on visiting doctors to keep services running. This is the kind of work that safeguards continuity of care and upholds community trust in local health services.

You’ll leave a meaningful impact—and you’ll likely want to return.
