ED SMO or FACEM – Locum in Coastal QLD | Ongoing Blocks from June | Up to $2,188/day

At Prescript, we exist to connect doctors with roles that matter — placements where your skills make a tangible difference to patients, departments, and communities. This opportunity at Mackay Base Hospital offers everything that defines a great locum: strong systems, a collaborative team, a steady flow of clinical variety, and a location where lifestyle and impact go hand in hand.

The Position

We’re recruiting experienced ED doctors (PGY6+ SMOs and FACEMs) to join the Emergency Department at Mackay Base Hospital — a major referral hospital for the region, and one of Queensland’s best-equipped digital facilities.

This is a Level 4 ED that sees over 150 presentations per day, across both adult and paediatric populations. With two resus bays, HDU, short-stay, and fast-track areas, you’ll be part of a well-structured and well-resourced service. Shifts run from 0700–1700 or 1200–2200 with occasional on-call — choose the blocks that suit your lifestyle.

Dates Available

From June 2025 onwards
Minimum 2-week blocks (longer-term preferred).

Benefits Provided

• Exceptional Daily Rates – $1,688.80 to $2,188/day depending on level

• Full Concierge Support – Travel, accommodation, and credentialing handled start to finish

• First Pick of Shifts – We’re a preferred partner with Queensland Health

• Modern Hospital, Smart Systems – The first fully digital public hospital in regional QLD, with streamlined voice-to-text and e-meds

• Real Impact, Balanced Life – Help keep care running in a regional ED, while enjoying a vibrant coastal city with reef access, cafes, and sunshine

What We’re Looking For

• PGY6+ with strong Emergency Medicine experience

• FACEMs or seasoned SMOs comfortable with both adult and paediatric cases

• ALS2 (or equivalent)

• A commitment to at least one upcoming block, and a desire to contribute meaningfully in a well-run ED

Why This Role Stands Out

Mackay isn’t just a fill-in shift — it’s a genuine chance to step into a respected department where you’ll feel supported and valued. Whether you’re looking for a short-term break from metro pressures or testing the waters for a more regional rhythm, this is the kind of locum that can spark something bigger.

Your Next Step

At Prescript, we take the hassle out of locum life so you can focus on what matters. Reach out today to secure your preferred dates.
