Rural and remote medical roles are based outside major metropolitan centres, often in underserved areas. These positions can involve emergency, general practice or hospital-based work, and often require greater autonomy and versatility.
A rural generalist is a medical practitioner trained to work across multiple disciplines, often combining general practice, emergency medicine and advanced skills like obstetrics or anaesthetics. This is highly valued in rural settings.
We offer rural GP jobs, GP ED jobs, CMO jobs, SMO jobs, DMO jobs and more. Roles range from Resident Medical Officer (RMO) to Director of Medical Services, with both permanent and locum opportunities available.
Pay varies based on the role and location. Locum doctors can earn up to $2,500 per day, while permanent positions can reach $400,000 per annum, especially for those in senior or highly specialised positions.
While some rural roles require advanced training (e.g. DRANZCOG, JCCA), others accept general practitioners with broad experience. Our team can guide you through the requirements for specific roles and locations.
