| Description |
At Prescript Recruitment, we help doctors step into roles where their work
truly matters — to the community, to the hospital, and to them.
Right now, we’re working with Hervey Bay Hospital to place experienced FACEMs and Rural Generalists (FRACGP/FACRRM) into a unique integrated care service that reduces ED pressure and improves patient flow. It's a perfect opportunity for those seeking meaningful medicine without the intensity of acute ED work. Add in the laid-back charm of Hervey Bay, and this becomes more than just another locum — it’s a role with real impact in a stunning setting.
The Position This is a rare, well-supported opportunity to practise broad, lower-acuity medicine within two key services:
HITH (Hospital in the Home): Deliver hospital-level care to patients in their homes — promoting early discharge, improving comfort, and easing system pressure.
STREAM: Provide timely, community-based support that prevents unnecessary ED admissions.
You’llbe working as part of a small, collaborative team alongside PHOs and experienced nursing staff. These are daytime-only roles, with no on-call, offering excellent work-life balance.
Roster
STREAM: Monday to Friday, 08:00–16:30
