Locum GPs
We have an extensive clinic network – from Mackay to Hobart.
How Better Medical can expand your experiences.
Join our supportive network as a locum GP and enjoy flexibility, variety, and excellence in clinical care.
Whether you’re seeking short-term placements, returning to general practice, or exploring different clinics before committing long term, our network offers rewarding locum opportunities tailored to your lifestyle and professional goals.
Our locum opportunities are ideal for (but not limited to):
- GPs taking a break from permanent practice
- Recently fellowed GPs seeking flexibility
- Semi-retired doctors wanting occasional sessions
- GPs returning to the workforce or between contracts
- Rural doctors seeking metro placements during time off
Why choose Better Medical?
Better GP support, better people, and better care – we’re better together for better health.
We understand the value locum GPs bring to our clinics and communities. That’s why we provide a range of benefits, including:
- Flexibility to experience different clinics, locations, and patient bases across South Australia, Queensland, Victoria, and Tasmania
- Opportunities to locum once, occasionally, or regularly – including short-term, ongoing, or school-holiday arrangements
- Support of experienced nurses, reception staff, and Practice Managers
- A set hourly rate of pay (overtime and weekends are paid as per the award)
- Associated costs* covered for locum placements (GPs will be required to commit to a minimum of 12 weeks per calendar year and at least two weeks per locum placement)
Plus, locum GPs who usually work outside of our network will receive:
- Access to Better Medical’s professional development opportunities, including GP Clinical Update Days
- Invitations to attend practice meetings, end-of-year celebrations, and other social events
- Potential to be offered a permanent role
- Excellence in clinical care
- The ability to maintain clinical independence
- The provision of highly supportive and collegiate work environments
*Associated costs such as flights, accommodation, and car hire would not be covered for local GPs working within their own communities.
