Innovative Locum Opportunity
This week-on, week-off locum GP position at Bundaberg Hospital offers a unique opportunity to work within a progressive Hospital in the Home (HITH) service, delivering hospital-level care in the community. You’ll be based primarily in the Emergency Department’s low-acuity clinic, managing minor procedures and urgent care-style presentations. The role operates Monday to Friday, 0830–1730, with some optional weekend work and no on-call requirements. It’s a great match for GPs looking to maintain their generalist skills in a supportive, well-structured clinical environment.
Evolving Model of Care
Bundaberg’s HITH team is part of Queensland Health’s broader initiative to improve patient outcomes and reduce hospital admissions by providing acute care in patient homes or other community settings. Patients remain in the care of hospital doctors, but receive treatment in familiar surroundings—an approach proven to increase satisfaction and support recovery. You’ll be joining a multidisciplinary team leading this shift, contributing to a patient-first model that’s shaping the future of regional healthcare.
Excellent Daily Rate
This position offers a generous daily rate of $1,950, with flexibility in payment structure. Prescript covers travel up to $1,000, car hire and accommodation up to $150/day (plus one travel day). We handle everything behind the scenes: credentialing, logistics, onboarding and ongoing support, so you can focus on delivering excellent care.
