Working in WA
The vastness of Western Australia, its diverse geography and a shortage of medical practitioners add up to a variety of interesting opportunities for short or longer-term work.
Rural Health West encourages applications from suitably qualified and experienced medical professionals, either Australian or overseas-trained. We will assist you through the approval process to ensure that whether you are working as a permanent doctor or a locum your skills, experience and family needs are well matched to your practice location.
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is regularly offered by Rural Health West, with many programs offered free of charge to rural general practitioners.
Information and support is available to the partners and families of all rural and remote doctors through the Family Support Program.
Overseas Trained Doctors (OTDs) can expect a comprehensive orientation, covering all aspects of medical practice in rural Western Australia, prior to commencing work in the rural area. If you received your primary medical degree overseas and do not have unconditional registration, click here for further information.
For more information about locum opportunities available to doctors who received their primary medical training in Australia or New Zealand or have unconditional registration, please view our range of locum programs for the one that suits you here.
