    You must also be a citizen, a permanent resident, or on a visa that allows you to work as a locum in the country.


  • Why Do Australian Hospitals Use Emergency Medicine Locums Staffing?

    Healthcare institutions can maintain their patient volume without increasing the workload on their current workforce by staffing emergency medicine locums. This strategy also increases patient satisfaction and cost efficiency.


    On occasions that permanent staff members take time off, emergency medicine locums offer continuity of coverage and care.

  • Who Provides Malpractice Insurance Coverage?

    Malpractice insurance may be purchased from a private insurer, an employer, or institutions such as medical risk retention groups (RRGs).

    In Australia, emergency medicine locums make an average salary of $250,000. Top specialists might make up to $500,000 or more annually. Junior physicians should expect to earn at least $300,000 annually.


    Rates for locums in emergency medicine vary by state and area. Hospitals located in metropolitan and urban locations typically pay a basic rate and provide fewer travel and lodging benefits.


    Junior physicians (JHO, RMO, and SRMO) make between $85 and $220 per hour. Senior doctors (VMO, CMO, SMO, FACEM) make about $150 - $350 per hour, whereas intermediate doctors (PHO, SHO, Registrar) get between $110 and $300 per hour.


    Doctors who prefer to work in rural or isolated areas will be paid more, have their travel and rental car costs reimbursed, and be given shared or family housing.


  • How Many Hours Does the Emergency Medicine Locum Work?

    Australian doctors typically put in between 35 and 38 hours per week, depending on their area of specialisation. These hours equal around three to four shifts per week.
