We are in contact with a number of agencies that provide services and financial assistance to rural medical practitioners. We help agencies to recruit locums so that hard-working rural and remote practitioners can take annual leave and attend continuing medical education activities.
Rural Health Workforce Australia is the peak body for Rural Workforce Agencies (RWAs), who operate in each state and the Northern Territory. In addition, the following organisations can assist you with information about locum initiatives and on current locum vacancies:
- Queensland - Health Workforce Queensland
- New South Wales - New South Wales Rural Doctors Network
- Victoria - Rural Workforce Agency Victoria
- South Australia - Rural Doctors Workforce Agency
- Tasmania - Health Recruitment Plus Tasmania
- Western Australia - Rural Health West
- Northern Territory - Northern Territory PHN
The College also has a network of Women Rural Medical Practitioners who are willing to work as locums for rural women practitioners. For more information on this network contact us.
