We’re heading to Adelaide this week for RMA26, and you’ll find us at booth 12 from 21 to 24 October.

If you’re working rural, or thinking about it, come and have a chat with the team. We can talk you through rural locum and permanent options, what rates look like in different regions, and how we handle travel and accommodation so you’re not sorting it all yourself.

Whether you have a specific question or just want to see what’s out there, we’d love to meet you in person.

Jess traded the Tassie winter for Brisbane sunshine, and locuming around NSW has given her room to keep learning and still make time for family and friends.

“Locuming has meant I’ve been able to do my work but also take a step back for myself too.”

For 20 years we’ve been putting doctors first, so they can look after themselves and show up fully for their patients. Your story could be next.

20 years, in good hands. Full campaign at the link in our bio.

Ash came to locuming after a couple of years in emergency medicine, needing a change of pace. Now his days start with a run or the gym, and the work fits around staying well, rather than the other way round.

"They really encourage lifestyle, and keeping you well to avoid burnout."

How much do paediatricians earn across different parts of Australia? It varies, but most land around $500,000, with some sitting closer to $400,000 and others swelling past $600,000. Location is a big driver: the further you go from a metro area, the higher the location and retention bonuses, and the closer in, the smaller they are. It's worth separating base from total, too. Base salary often sits around $250,000, and it's the allowances on top, especially at rural sites, that bulk it up to $500,000 or $600,000. A lot of paediatricians also balance their full-time role with locums or private practice, and that's where a good chunk of the year-to-year income gets made.

What are the day rates for a paediatric consultant locuming in Australia? As a general benchmark, the standard daily rate sits around $2,500, and more often than not it climbs to $2,700, $2,900, or $3,000. It shifts state to state and with how urgent the need is. Rates can often be negotiated too, though it's worth not leading with that on your first placement. Once you're back at the same hospital for a second or third trip and you've done well, there's usually a lot more room for a rate increase.

This year, Medrecruit turns 20.

Twenty years of helping doctors across Australia and New Zealand find work that fits their lives. To mark it, we are not going to talk about ourselves. We are handing it to the doctors.

Over the coming weeks we are sharing their stories in their own words: why they chose us, and the difference it made. Listening back to them, one idea kept coming through, and it is the thought we are building this year around: being in good hands. When a doctor is genuinely looked after, their patients are too.

First up is Gloria, who came over from New Zealand for international experience and built a career, and a life by the ocean, around it. Watch her story on YouTube: https://loom.ly/tnx1R3Y

Can you work as a locum alongside a full-time job? You can, but here's the honest take: a good recruiter isn't going to push you past a full-time load. That's not what locum is for, and it's not good for you. What locum does give you is flexibility. It doesn't have to be long blocks. It can be a single day, two days, three days, whatever fits around the rest of your life. Partial cover is better than no cover, so you decide how much, or how little, you take on.

What paperwork do you need to start locuming? First things first: a CV and two or three references. That's the general prerequisite just about everywhere. Some places ask for it at different stages of the process, but every place will need it at some point, so it's worth having ready from the start. It also helps your recruiter do their job, because the sooner they've got it, the sooner they can match you to the role that fits you best.

Just fellowed and wondering where's a good place to start locuming in Australia? Here's the approach worth taking: for your first placement, go where there's the most support and the least risk, rather than chasing the highest rate or the furthest-flung location. A good agent will talk you through every option in real detail, so you walk in knowing exactly what to expect. Your first placement is the one to get right, and the right location makes all the difference.

What hourly rate can a psychiatry registrar expect locuming? As a rule of thumb, around $150 to $160 an hour across states like New South Wales, the Northern Territory and Victoria, which sit fairly standard. Some roles come in a bit lower, around $120 to $130, and others go up to $200, so there's a genuine range depending on the role and the location. There's often a little room to negotiate too. If you want a realistic picture of what a specific role is likely to pay, that's exactly the kind of thing your agent can talk you through.
