Why Become A Locum

Why become a locum

Locums play a vital role in providing quality health care. Your skills are sorely needed and much appreciated. As a locum you would enjoy many benefits.

These include:

  • Control of your own life. You accept the shifts you want and you work in the hospitals you prefer.
  • For parents with young children, the opportunity to work around the need to care for them.
  • A considerably higher rate of pay than you would receive as a resident or registrar.
  • Exceptional learning experiences through exposure to a wide range of situations and hospitals, including some of Australia's major teaching hospitals.
  • The option of supplementing your full-time hospital hours with locum work at higher rates.
  • Generate an income that may help you meet sudden or unexpected financial demands.
  • For those of you working towards becoming a specialist, the opportunity to establish worthwhile contacts for a future referral base.
  • Senior Consultants looking for alternatives to their busy lifestyle.
