I felt well looked after by my Medrecruit agent throughout the whole process.
Locum Consultants can earn fantastic rates with flexible hours and locations across Australia and New Zealand. No matter your future financial goals - locuming is a great way to boost your earnings.
For most placements, your travel and accommodation costs are covered. Many of our Consultant locums even bring their family along for a working holiday.
We have Australasia's largest network of doctor jobs. This means more chance of finding the perfect role. Search yourself or take advantage of our free career support service and let our team find roles for you.
The amount you earn as an emergency doctor depends on multiple factors, like whether you are full-time, part-time, or locum and whether you are in a public or private hospital.
Specialist ED doctors are earning an average of up to $234,000 per year in Australia. Locum ED consultants in Australia are earning up to $3500 a day. The average salary range for an emergency medicine doctor in New Zealand is between $234,002 and $463,009. Emergency medicine specialists are at the higher end of this scale.
The ED job market is quite competitive, we have hundreds of emergency medicine jobs available, let our specialist team help you find the role of your dreams.
This role can be so rewarding - not only do we assist doctors to achieve their career and financial goals, but a large number of hospitals genuinely struggle to find doctors and it is so rewarding to know that the work we do makes a big difference in these areas.
I enjoy matching the job to suit the professional and personal goals of ED doctors and seeing the benefits of a better work/life balance.
I love learning a doctor’s motivations and goals and helping them work towards them. It’s rewarding helping hospitals fill their rosters.
Life as a doctor demands you give everything. Dr Sam Hazledine learned this first as an intern. Years later Medrecruit was his response. Sam successfully lobbied the World Medical Association to amend the Declaration of Geneva (the modern-day Hippocratic Oath) to include:
I will attend to my own health, wellbeing, and abilities in order to provide care of the highest standard.
Medrecruit continue to advocate for, educate and work towards better health and wellbeing for all doctors.
Yes! Most locum placements offer travel and accommodation arrangements. We can help negotiate this for you. This is usually hospital accommodation or a nice bed and breakfast, and flight or petrol reimbursement.
Locum placements can be as short as a couple of days, though most doctors prefer slightly longer placements (a few weeks or months) so there’s time to get to know the area and the team.
Medrecruit also works with doctors to find permanent roles.
Your registration number, a current CV and three references are the essentials of any job application. Other paperwork that's commonly required is:
What you'll need can vary slightly between Australian states and in New Zealand. Some states/locations also ask you complete an online training course (eMedical Courses). We're here to help guide you through the requirements and we'll give you a checklist detailing everything you need.
Nope! Our service is free for doctors. We're paid by hospitals and clinics for our services and are preferred suppliers in several states and areas. Because we have a huge network of doctors, we save clinics and hospitals time (and money) by taking the stress out of the hiring and credentialing process.
This depends on where you work – the hospital or clinic chooses how a doctor is paid. This will work one of three ways:
Your recruitment specialist can let you know which method you’ll be paid by for each job you undertake.
The average emergency medicine doctor's salary in Australia is $191,196 per year. Junior doctors start at $190,624 per year, while most Specialist Consultants make up to $203,773 per year. Emergency Medicine locums can make up to $3500 a day.
These are the types of ED jobs we represent across Australasia.
