Why become a locum?

Control of your own life. You accept the shifts you want and you work in the hospitals you prefer.

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.

Avoidance, to a large extent, of bureaucratic demands and hospital politics.

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 with a future referral base.
