The daily life of a GP can be tiresome and
monotonous. The long working hours and intense
workload can be brutal sometimes. While for some
GPs the stability of 9-5 may be ideal but for
doctors who are looking for more professional and
travel opportunities doing locum medical work can
be the best alternative. Locum GPs are the GPs
who take place of another GP temporarily to cover
for leave of absences, holiday periods or shifts
in case there is a shortage or absence of GPs.
Working as Locum GP in Australia has become
quite popular in recent years among the medical
community whether you are a recently qualified
doctor looking for an extra shift to help you
recover from that excessive student debt or you
are a GP on the bridge of retirement.

It is sad to see how locum jobs are usually
associated with the chase of quick money. The
hourly rate may look attractive for its nominal
value but locum jobs offer a wide range of things
before you could even think of money. Working as
a locum GP is a perfect start for many newly
qualified GPs.

Here are some benefits of being a Locum GP
Travelling
Working as a locum GP can take you to all corners
of Australia. From busy medical practices in
major cities to rural towns where you may be the
only doctor available for kilometres around.
Whether you prefer the hustle-bustle of cities or
secluded outback or the vibrant tropics you can
experience everything this country has to offer.

You are in control
Unlike the GPs with stable medical practice,
Locum GPs have ultimate say over their schedule.
You are in control of when or where you work. You
can choose to fill a position as you see fit.
This means your calendar is in your hands. Locum
assignments are for a shorter period of time,
usually to cover for another doctor who is away
for a specific duration. The temporary nature of
work gives you the flexibility to choose how
often you work and your hours of operation. You
can build your career as a Locum GP keeping in
mind your other commitments in life such as
looking after a baby or pursuing a full-time
hobby. The work-life balance is more stable.
Professional opportunities
As a doctor the more experience you gain, the
better it gets for developing professional
skills. The temporary nature of Locum work means
you will be working in diverse environments, with
different levels of resources and support staff
and patients. This ensures that you face new
challenges every day and are prepared for
whatever the career throws at you.

Better pay
The security of a daily income through a
full-time placement is certainly appealing
locum work offers extremely lucrative
opportunities for short-term contracts. Because
locums are often filling for medical
practitioners away on annual leave or other
assignments, practice managers are required to
fill the role as quickly as possible with the
proper candidates. Managers also got to minimize
the extent of time a clinic is without its GP, so
often they offer very substantial remuneration
and incentive packages to encourage doctors to
accept the position immediately.
In todays world, people are looking for
alternatives to traditional styles of employment
the recognition for flexible, short-term,
commitment-free, remote positions is growing.
Contracting roles provide one example of this,
and locum work falls under this category.
