Description

At Prescript Recruitment, we place doctors in roles that matter — to communities, to patients, and to you. Right now, we’re partnering with a well-supported rural hospital in Narrandera, NSW, seeking experienced Rural Generalists (GP VMOs) for upcoming blocks. With generous rates, modern onsite accommodation, and an after-hours program that prioritises clinician wellbeing, this is a role where you can practise at the top of your scope without burning out.
The name Narrandera comes from the Wiradjuri word Narrungdera, meaning “place of many lizards” — a nod to the land’s rich Indigenous heritage and connection to country. It’s the kind of place where you’re quickly welcomed, and where your presence as a doctor genuinely matters.

The Position
You’ll be joining a dedicated rural health team, delivering GP and ED services with on-call support as part of a structured roster. Expect the autonomy typical of regional practice, the variety of rural presentations, and a culture that values collaboration and contribution. The hospital also runs an after-hours model that ensures clinicians are well-rested and supported — essential for sustainable locum work.
Curious what it's really like to locum here? We can connect you with a Prescript doctor who regularly works in Narrandera for a firsthand view of the role, the team, and the town.
