Locum work gives you the freedom to tailor your experience, earnings, and exposure around your training requirements. I partner with hospitals nationwide, from tertiary trauma centres to regional base and rural emergency departments, giving you access to varied presentations, teaching environments, and supportive consultant teams.
I specialise in working with ACEM Trainee doctors, one-on-one — matching your skill level, ensuring you’re backed by structured supervision and the resources to perform at your best.
Emergency Medicine locum work can accelerate your development, if the environment fits.
I work directly with ACEM trainee doctors to ensure every placement aligns with your experience, learning goals, and safety requirements.
I match you with EDs that provide meaningful exposure, supervision, and clinical diversity.
I coordinate all compliance, onboarding, and documentation so you can focus on preparation.
Logistics are handled in advance for stress-free arrivals.
You’ll deal directly with me from your first call through to contract completion.
Locum shifts offer exposure to new systems and presentations that strengthen your clinical judgment.
Locum experience helps you see how different departments function, develop adaptability, and gain the independence that defines effective emergency physicians.
Regional hospitals: greater procedural autonomy, strong teamwork, and high patient variety.
Rural EDs: smaller teams, broader responsibility, and direct consultant oversight — ideal for confidence-building before fellowship.
Even the most ambitious Emergency Medicine doctors can hit a crossroads.
metro hospitals, trauma centres, paeds-specialised sites
with ICU support and multi-specialty teams
often with procedural autonomy and limited on-site backup
lower acuity, GP-style presentations
culturally safe care in Aboriginal communities
Whether you’re looking to broaden your experience, reduce your hours, or take control of when and where you work — we’ll make sure your next role fits both your skills and your situation.
You’ll need AHPRA registration, recent ED work history, and current ALS2 certification. AP
Rates vary by location and hospital size. Most ACEM trainee locums can earn upward of $2000 per shift with travel, accommodation and car covered.
Yes. All hospitals credential trainees under defined supervision — either on-site or via 24-hour consultant (FACEM or SMO) support. You’ll never be rostered beyond your approved scope of practice.
Some placements are in ACEM-accredited sites and may contribute to logbook hours. Others, while non-accredited, still build relevant experience and procedural confidence. I’ll clarify this with each opportunity.
Yes, you will need to be credentialed in every hospital and for every state you work in. This is a legal requirement, but once your credentialing is on file, I can assist with further credentialing in other hospitals across the country. Hospitals in the same states have very similar requirements, and we can often use the same credentialing and hospital forms etc.
Very high. Regional and rural hospitals in Queensland, Western Australia, Victoria and the Northern Territory consistently seek capable ACEM trainees for both short and extended blocks.
This depends on your availability. Placements can range from 1–2 week blocks upwards to multi-month rotations. Many doctors use locums to bridge term gaps or gain additional procedural exposure.
It starts with a conversation. I’ll walk through your clinical preferences, family needs, credentialing status, and ideal locations. Then, only present options that genuinely suit you, not just roles that need filling.
It all depends on you and how fast you can be available and how fast you can organise your credentialing requirements. I can send you a list of what is required and most doctors already have most of it on their laptop or a USB stick.
