Benefits of AMS locum placements include:
Delivering culturally appropriate care in collaboration with local communities
Gaining insight into the social and cultural determinants of health
Working in team-based environments that value community connection and holistic wellbeing
Developing professionally through a broadened scope of practice and cultural understanding

Whether you’re an experienced locum or new to the space, we’re here to support your journey.
Locum GPs have the freedom to choose their own work schedules, locations, and the amount of work they take on, allowing for a better work-life balance and the ability to accommodate personal commitments.
Locum work often offers significantly higher pay rates. This financial incentive is a major draw card.
Career locums can experience diverse clinical environments, patient demographics, and healthcare systems, which enhances their skills, adaptability, and job satisfaction. The variety helps prevent burnout and keeps the work interesting.
Many GPs turn to locum work after experiencing burnout or dissatisfaction with the pressures and bureaucracy of permanent positions. Locum roles offer more control, less administrative burden, and the chance to avoid the stressors that drive burnout in traditional roles.
Locum work enables GPs to travel and work in different regions, including rural and remote areas, combining professional duties with personal exploration and adventure.
Working as a locum allows GPs to build a broad professional network and a versatile CV, which can open doors for future opportunities and career moves.
Locum work gives GPs the chance to try different practice settings before committing to a permanent role, helping them find the best fit for their skills and preferences.
For GPs nearing retirement, locum work provides a way to stay engaged in medicine on their own terms, without the responsibilities of a full-time post.
