Doctors first. Then jobs. That’s the difference.
To work as a surgical registrar in Australia or New Zealand, you must hold a recognised medical degree and have general or provisional registration with AHPRA (Australia) or MCNZ (New Zealand). Most registrars are enrolled in or eligible for the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS) training program. Medrecruit can help you navigate registration and training pathways.
Medrecruit offers locum, fixed-term, and permanent surgical registrar positions across general surgery and subspecialties including orthopaedics, cardiothoracic, urology, ENT, and vascular surgery. Roles are available in both metropolitan teaching hospitals and regional health services, giving you the flexibility to choose your ideal working environment.
Salaries vary depending on experience, location, and hospital enterprise agreements. In Australia, surgical registrars typically earn between AUD $95,000 and $160,000 per year, with additional pay for overtime, on-call, and weekend shifts. Locum surgical registrar jobs often offer higher hourly rates. Medrecruit’s team can help negotiate top rates on your behalf.
