Bush Locums

Rural Health West has developed a great set of incentives (see below) for unconditionally registered doctors interested in undertaking locum assignments in rural and remote areas.

Locum assignments can be as short as one week or much longer. They may be in major regional centres or remote outback locations; in the hot north or the cooler south; on the coast or deep inland.
