Why More FACEMs Are Choosing Locum Work​

Emergency Medicine is one of the most demanding jobs in medicine — fast-paced, unpredictable, and clinically intense. My job is to make it more rewarding, more flexible, and better aligned with the life you actually want to lead.

Whether you’re after high-paying short blocks or consistent rotational work, I handle the coordination, admin, and credentialing — so you can focus on what matters.

I specialise in working with FACEMs, one-on-one — always with full transparency around rates, location, team dynamics, and what to expect.

This is how I support FACEMs

Emergency medicine is demanding. Locum work lets you choose
how, when, and where you give your energy.

For many senior ED doctors, locuming isn’t just a side gig. It’s a strategic decision to take back time,
avoid burnout, and work in environments that match their values and clinical interests.

Here’s what sets me apart:

Roles that match your clinical strengths

I prioritise the medicine, not just the shift. You’ll only be offered work that suits your scope, preferences, and experience.

Fast credentialing support

I manage your credentialing and paperwork so future hospital approvals are faster and simpler.

Travel made seamless

I coordinate flights, accommodation, and logistics upfront, so you're not left figuring it out after you say yes.

One point of contact

You’ll hear from me directly. One point of contact from first call to booking, and again when you’re ready for your next locum block.

The Realities of Emergency Medicine & Why Fit Matters

Emergency medicine is dynamic, unpredictable, and often resource-limited, especially in rural or regional EDs.

Whether you’re walking into a trauma call solo at midnight or managing five ramped patients on a short-staffed shift, your environment matters.

That’s why I dig deeper than most agencies:

  • I ask the right questions about acuity levels, team structure, patient volume, and access to backup

  • I work with hospitals that value their locums — and we avoid those that don’t

You’re not just another doctor on the floor.

You’re a specialist in high-stakes, high-pressure care. I make sure the setting reflects that.

Is This You?

Even the most experienced Emergency Medicine doctors can hit a crossroads.

Medical Facilities I Work With

metro hospitals, trauma centres, paeds-specialised sites

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.

FAQs for FACEM Locum Doctors

Most frequent questions and answers

Across Australia, there is a consistent demand for FACEMs in across all states, The busiest areas are currently WA, NT, NSW, VIC, TAS, and all are high-paying opportunities.

Across Australia, there is consistent demand for FACEMs in metro trauma centres, regional base hospitals. Many placements are in regional NSW, VIC, NT and WA, but high-paying metro gaps do surface, especially during roster changes or peak leave periods.

FACEM locum rates typically range from $2,800 to $3,500 per day, depending on location, and in some instances for short notice urgent shifts, they may be higher plus package inclusions (e.g. flights, car hire, private accommodation).

Yes, absolutely. Many FACEMs have full-time jobs, some are directors and some like to locum for the extra money that they can earn, as well as being able to just work clinical shifts, without the headache of running a department and all of the challenges that can bring. Work from as little as a day or two, 5 days, 2 weeks or longer, its your choice.

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.

You’ll have full logistical and credentialing support from our team — before, during, and after the locum. That includes travel coordination, accommodation, shift briefings, and any issue resolution. You’re never left guessing, and we stay one step ahead of what you’ll need next.

Absolutely. Many hospitals are open to 3–5 day blocks, especially when they know the doctor brings strong clinical capability. We tailor placements to your calendar — from long-term rotations to short gaps between other commitments.

It starts with a conversation. We’ll walk through your clinical preferences, family needs, credentialing status, and ideal locations. Then we 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.
