Prescript is currently seeking an experienced Rural Generalist for a fully supported locum on Groote Eylandt — a remote island in the Gulf of Carpentaria, Northern Territory. This is a unique opportunity to practise broad-scope medicine in a culturally rich and geographically stunning location, where your presence directly supports access to essential healthcare.
You’ll be based at Alyangula Health Clinic, delivering a mix of primary care, emergency presentations, chronic disease management and outreach support to surrounding communities. Working alongside Remote Area Nurses and Aboriginal Health Practitioners, this is a meaningful role suited to doctors who thrive in diverse clinical settings and value community-led care. Whether you’re looking for a short-term adventure or a way to contribute during a career break, this placement combines lifestyle, purpose, and professional reward.
Dates and Inclusions
We are looking for doctors available between October 2025 and January 2026, with a minimum commitment of two to three weeks. Flexible blocks will be considered. The daily rate is $2,000 per day plus GST. Accommodation is fully furnished and provided free of charge, along with a vehicle for local travel. All flights and logistics are organised for you, and you’ll be fully supported throughout by Prescript’s credentialing and onboarding team. We follow our Prescript Quality Standards (PQS) to make the process as seamless and efficient as possible, with minimal admin and maximum clarity.
Requirements and Contact
To be eligible, you’ll need current AHPRA registration and Fellowship with either FRACGP or FACRRM (or equivalent). You’ll also need experience in emergency care, general medicine, minor procedures and paediatrics. Remote or Aboriginal health experience is strongly preferred. You must hold an NT Working With Children Clearance and a National Police Check, and be eligible for NT Health credentialing.
