Public Hospital Sites – Rewarding Radiology Locums in the Victorian Countryside

There’s something deeply rewarding about locuming where your presence makes a real difference – in communities that are genuinely grateful to have you.

We’re working with two well-resourced public hospital sites in the Victorian countryside, operated by private radiology providers. These are high-quality locum opportunities offering a balanced mix of reporting and procedures, tailored to your individual skillset.

Accessible from Melbourne, these scenic locations offer the chance to step out of the city, slow down, and enjoy the fresh air – all while working with supportive teams who truly value your contribution.

The Position

We’re seeking Tier A General Radiologists to work across two regional public hospitals, each run by a highly regarded private provider.

You’ll be working across a broad range of reporting, with general procedures included. If you offer a subspecialty – such as breast, MSK, or MRI – it will be welcomed, but it’s not essential.

We are always keen to make sure the work aligns with your interests and strengths – to ensure this is a really excellent and enjoyable match for you.

These are strong, well-organised sites that offer a rewarding locum experience. They’re particularly well suited to radiologists who enjoy varied, hospital-based work – with the added structure, support, and attractive daily rates offered by a privately operated service.

The dates below offer full flexibility, allowing you to choose the blocks that suit your schedule.

Dates Available

Full week blocks or 4-day weeks available – you choose what suits.

  • Monday 26th May to Friday 30th May 2025

  • Monday 2nd June to Friday 6th June 2025

  • Monday 9th June to Friday 13th June 2025

  • Monday 16th June to Friday 20th June 2025

  • Monday 23rd June to Friday 27th June 2025

  • Monday 7th July to Friday 11th July 2025

  • Monday 14th July to Friday 18th July 2025

  • Monday 21st July to Friday 25th July 2025

  • Monday 28th July to Friday 1st August 2025

Looking further ahead? We’re currently booking for August and beyond – let us know your availability.

There are no weekends or on-call – giving you the option to unwind and enjoy the surrounds, or head home Friday evening.

Benefits Provided

  • $3,500 per day (select weeks may attract $4,000 – please enquire)

  • Return economy flights from anywhere in Australia or New Zealand

  • Self-contained accommodation provided

  • Hire car with full fuel reimbursement

  • Full support from Prescript’s credentialing and logistics team – we manage everything so your locum runs smoothly

What We’re Looking For

  • Tier A general radiology skillset, including general procedures

  • AHPRA Specialist Registration

  • FRANZCR

  • Availability for at least one of the above weeks

Your Next Step

This is a high-quality locum offering: well-organised sites, warm regional communities, and the kind of structure and support that makes all the difference.

Locum Rural Generalist – Port Lincoln, SA - Coastal Views & Work with Impact

At Prescript, we place doctors where they’re needed most — and where they’ll thrive.

This is one of those opportunities: a rewarding locum role in the heart of South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula, where your clinical skills will be valued, your contribution will be visible, and your downtime will be spent by the sea.

Port Lincoln Hospital is well-organised and well-supported, and you’ll be backed by a Consultant Physician and a friendly, capable clinical team. We’ll take care of all the logistics — so you can focus on delivering great care and enjoying everything this unique coastal community has to offer.

The Position

We’re seeking a GP or Rural Generalist (FACRRM or FRACGP) to support general medicine wards at Port Lincoln Hospital.

You’ll be rostered alongside another senior doctor (0800–2000, where applicable), with additional Consultant support during business hours and on-call overnight. This is a senior post with responsibility for supervising junior doctors — ideal for those with experience in hospital-based general medicine.

Please note: Physicians are not accepted for this role.

Dates Available

Ward-Based Locum (General Medicine)
• Monday 21 April – Friday 25 April 2025
• OR extend to: Monday 21 April – Sunday 27 April 2025

Benefits Provided

  • Travel, accommodation and car hire fully covered

  • Concierge-level support from your Prescript partner — from credentialing to flights

  • Work in a well-supported hospital with strong Consultant backing

  • Explore a destination famous for its seafood, sea lions, and untouched coastline

Where You'll Be – Port Lincoln, South Australia

Port Lincoln sits on the southern tip of the Eyre Peninsula — a laid-back coastal town known for its fresh seafood, rugged beaches, and sense of space. It’s often called Australia’s seafood capital, and for good reason: the town is home to the country’s largest commercial fishing fleet, and the local fare is exceptional.

Outside of work, you can swim with sea lions, take a seafood tour, explore the national park, or simply enjoy the ocean views from a local café.

Getting there is easy:

  • Fly direct from Adelaide to Port Lincoln – 50-minute flight, several departures daily

  • Prescript covers your return flights, airport transfers, and car hire, so your travel is smooth from start to finish

What We’re Looking For

  • Current Fellowship with FRACGP or ACRRM

  • Proven hospital-based General Medicine experience

  • Current ALS2 or equivalent (e.g., RESP)

  • Confidence supervising junior doctors

  • Sunrise EMR training is highly desirable

  • AHPRA Specialist Registration

Why This Role Is in High Demand

High-paying, coastal roles in well-supported hospitals don’t stay available for long — especially when they fall during April and July school holidays. Port Lincoln is a standout location, offering the ideal mix of professional reward and personal escape.

If you’re interested in this opportunity — or curious about what else is coming up — we’d love to hear from you.

Radiology Locum – Reporting Only | Coastal Base, Country Impact | Flexible Rates

At Prescript Recruitment, we exist to ensure every community has access to the healthcare they deserve – and every doctor finds a role where they can thrive. We’re proud to offer a radiology opportunity that’s as flexible as it is rewarding: a pure reporting-only locum just outside Port Macquarie, NSW.

Working with a respected national imaging provider, this role combines the best of both worlds: a peaceful rural setting that genuinely needs your expertise, and the ease of a no-procedures, reporting-only position. Whether you’re looking to fill gaps between regular commitments or book recurring week-blocks, you’ll be perfectly placed.

The Position

This is a reporting-only radiology role at a clinic within a public hospital, located a short drive inland from Port Macquarie. You’ll be reporting within your skillset across general modalities including X-ray, CT, Ultrasound and MRI. There are no procedures required – and no interventional component.

You’ll be supported by a well-organised imaging team and connected to a broader network of radiologists across the group. The site is DWS-accredited, meaning 19AB-restricted radiologists are welcome.

You’re also welcome to base yourself in Port Macquarie and commute to the clinic daily – or explore more rural & coastal accommodation if preferred.

Also, working in Port Macquarie is available for a day or two (ask Prescript for more info).

Dates Available

Week-blocks available every week of 2025, starting immediately.
Short or long-term commitments welcome – let us know your availability and we’ll tailor the placement to you.)

Benefits Provided

In addition to a starting rate of $3,500/day, the following are included:

  • Negotiable rates based on your experience – speak directly with Jason to discuss

  • Return economy airfares from anywhere in Australia

  • Self-contained accommodation, with the option to stay in coastal Port Macquarie or closer to the hospital

  • Hire car provided for the duration of your placement

  • Full concierge support from Prescript – we handle credentialing, travel, and all the admin in between

From day one to departure, we’ll take care of the details – so you can focus on your work.

What We Require From You

  • Current AHPRA specialist registration

  • FRANZCR

  • Australian or New Zealand citizenship / permanent residency

  • Experience in general radiology reporting

Getting There

Port Macquarie is easily reached with direct 1-hour flights from Sydney or Brisbane, and multiple daily services. Prefer to drive? It’s a scenic 4.5-hour journey from Sydney, with car hire included for local travel.

Your Next Step

This is a brilliant opportunity to deliver meaningful care without stepping out of your reporting comfort zone – and to do it in a region that truly values your time and expertise.

Locum Rural Generalist Opportunities – First Access Through Our New RDWA Partnership

Prescript Recruitment is proud to be working with the Rural Doctors Workforce Agency (RDWA) — a respected organisation dedicated to building and sustaining strong, accessible healthcare across rural and remote South Australia.

This collaboration goes beyond recruitment. It’s about backing the GPs who keep rural communities running — and offering you the chance to step into well-supported, meaningful locum placements across the state.

RDWA runs an exceptional Locum Relief Program designed to support rural communities and the hardworking doctors who serve them. The program allows permanent GPs to take well-deserved leave, confident their patients are in the care of highly skilled, compassionate professionals. Unlike some other locum placements, these aren’t crisis or high-pressure postings. Instead, they’re well-organised, well-supported, and well-loved practices — simply in need of short-term cover for regular staff breaks.

And by becoming part of the Prescript doctor community, you’re getting first access before these roles are advertised more broadly.

The Position

We’re seeking experienced Locum Rural Generalists for short-term placements across South Australia. These roles are primarily based in GP clinics, with some requiring shared ED on-call coverage.

ED requirements vary by site. Some towns involve fewer hours but a more intense pace when you are called in. Others include 24/7 on-call with minimal overnight disruptions — often just one recall per night. This creates an excellent balance between variety and lifestyle, with clear expectations from the outset.

Where You Might Go

Placements are spread across some of South Australia’s most welcoming rural communities — including the Riverland, Yorke Peninsula, Eyre Peninsula, the Mid-Murray, and Outback regions. Many towns are an easy drive from Adelaide, with some accessible by direct flights.

Each location has its own rhythm — from coastal communities with relaxed beachside charm, to agricultural hubs with rich local histories and a strong sense of community. You’ll enjoy friendly local teams, a slower pace outside the clinic, and a genuine connection to the people you’re supporting.

And if you're based in South Australia, did you know two of the Prescript team are Adelaide-based? You're always welcome to visit our CBD office for a coffee or lunch — we'd love to connect in person.

Benefits Provided

  • Attractive daily rates, with additional incentives for procedural and high-demand placements

  • Travel, car and accommodation included

  • Fast Friday payments

  • First access to roles before they go public

  • Concierge-style logistics and credentialing support

  • Work with a team that values your time, skill and experience

What We Require From You

  • Current AHPRA specialists registration

  • Fellowship with RACGP or ACRRM

  • Strong primary care and emergency medicine skills

  • A collaborative, can-do attitude

  • Commitment to supporting rural communities with quality care

Your Next Step

These are placements where your skills are appreciated and your presence genuinely matters.

Join us in delivering real impact — and enjoy the support of a recruitment partner who understands the work you do.
