Information for Potential Locums

You have the skills; 
Just pack your sense of adventure!

Are you interested in sampling life in the Territory?  There are always opportunities for Locum General Practitioners to work in a variety of locations in the Northern Territory, from the main towns and regional centres, to more isolated remote Aboriginal communities in the deserts of Central Australia and the tropical Top End.  
Locum GP positions are available in mainstream General Practice or in Aboriginal Health, or a combination of both.
Practicing medicine in the Northern Territory is varied, interesting and challenging, requiring adaptive and innovative work practices, and a multidisciplinary team approach.  The rewards of such work are great, and there are opportunities to really make a difference. The length of contract is negotiable. Here is your avenue to experience a lifestyle like no other.
