What’s the Difference Between a Locum GP Job and a Permanent GP Role?
A locum GP job offers greater flexibility, variety, and control over your schedule compared to a standard full-time GP position.
Locum placements typically last two weeks or more but can be as short as a weekend or even just a few days—depending on demand and your availability. Many doctors choose locum work to fill high-demand periods or to take breaks between permanent roles, offering a chance to earn well while maintaining lifestyle freedom.
From short-term contracts to ongoing locum work, we help GPs enjoy the best of both worlds: career satisfaction and a balanced social life.
What are the benefits of being a locum GP in Australia?
In Australia, one of the biggest advantages of being a locum GP is the freedom to choose when and where you work. Plan your schedule around travel, family, or personal interests. This level of flexibility is ideal for doctors who value work-life balance and autonomy.
Locum work allows you to gain experience in a variety of healthcare settings—from small community clinics to large urban practices. It’s a great way to develop new skills, adapt to different systems, and stay professionally challenged. Many GPs report learning more in a year of locum work than in many years at the same practice.
Working across different clinics and communities helps you meet a wide variety of healthcare professionals and patients. These connections can lead to lifelong friendships, mentoring opportunities, or even permanent roles down the track. Locum work is ideal for broadening your professional network.
