Locum vs Permanent GP Jobs: Which is Right for You?

Whether you’re after flexibility or stability, both locum and permanent GP jobs offer unique benefits that can align with your lifestyle and career goals.

Locum GP jobs offer the freedom to work when and where you choose. You can explore new clinics, communities, and regions while building diverse clinical skills across a range of settings and health priorities. With higher hourly rates, and often travel and accommodation provided, locum work offers strong short-term earning potential. It’s ideal for GPs seeking variety, autonomy, and the chance to discover new parts of Australia on your own terms.

Permanent GP jobs, on the other hand, provide consistency and security. You’ll work with the same practice and patient base, allowing you to build meaningful relationships with patients and grow within a team. These roles offer a steady income, structured career development, and a chance to settle into a community and establish a regular routine. 

Whether you’re drawn to the freedom of locum work or the continuity of a permanent role, we’ll help you find the GP job that’s the right fit for you.
