Emergency medicine is one of the most in-demand specialities in Australia and New Zealand, and therefore one of the highest-paid. We’ve recently matched doctors to all kinds of emergency medicine jobs - from hospital-based roles to rural emergency medicine and trauma services.
Locum doctors can earn fantastic rates with flexible hours and locations across Australia and NZ. Whether you're saving for a house, investing or simply feel like treating yourself - locuming is a great way to boost your earnings.
For most placements, your travel and accommodation costs are covered. This means you get to explore new places with no cost to you!
