I’d like to work with Indigenous communities

One of the most rewarding locum jobs is the chance to practice Indigenous health and live in some of Australia’s most remote communities. Without our locum recruitment services, many of these communities would not receive adequate medical care, and we’re proud to be able to offer these roles to you and support these communities.
