The Opportunity

Port Augusta Hospital & Regional Health Services (PAH&RH) provides vital healthcare to the Upper Spencer Gulf region, with its Emergency Department (ED) handling over 12,000 annual presentations. The 120-bed hospital offers comprehensive services, including trauma care, general emergency services, and specialized treatments. The ED team is supported by a skilled group of doctors, nurses, and allied health staff, allowing locums to manage diverse, high-acuity cases. The hospital offers accommodation, meal allowances, and travel assistance, while regular educational sessions ensure professional development in this dynamic, fast-paced environment.

The Location

Port Augusta, located at the crossroads of South Australia, offers a unique mix of regional lifestyle and natural beauty. Known as the "Gateway to the Outback," it features modern amenities like shopping, local markets, and recreational facilities. The surrounding Flinders Ranges and Lake Hart provide ample outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, and fishing. With direct flights from Adelaide, Port Augusta is easily accessible, and its strong connection to local Aboriginal communities offers an enriching cultural experience for locum doctors interested in rural and remote healthcare.
