Who We Are
We specialise in connecting highly skilled medical doctors and specialists as well as doctors just starting out on their careers with suitable assignments, with up to 1,200 shifts available on any one day drawn from over 150 public and private hospitals across Australia.
Austwide Locums was established in 1972. The first of its kind in NSW and the largest and longest-running locum placement agency in Australia, Liz Swinnerton and her team have built an enviable reputation for integrity, efficiency and quality of service.
We offer an ever-growing list of hospitals, providing an expanding choice of shifts. Last minute locums are a specialty.
Because we realise you went into medicine not to polish your clerical skills, but to practice medicine we take care of the paperwork, raise your accounts,follow up any late payments and provide an annual activity summary for taxation purposes, leaving you to do what you do best.
In summary, our mission is to provide our locums with opportunities that are both financially rewarding and professionally satisfying.
Work where you want,
when you want!
Embrace life as a locum.
With so many benefits you really have nothing to lose.
