Support from the start

You will work with diverse Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, cultures, needs and aspirations. Every day will probably be different, and certainly fulfilling.

On every placement with the NT Remote Locum Program, we’ll provide wraparound support throughout the whole process. We provide:

  • travel and accommodation
  • cultural and clinical training
  • 24/7 clinical and workforce support while on placement
  • access to free online resources.

Working as a remote General Practitioner

Remote Educators (RE) are experienced remote area nurses, skilled in supporting health professionals who haven’t worked remote before. Your RE will:

  • give you one-on-one clinical support to General Practitioners (GP) on placement
  • create an individual support plan based on your experience and conversations with the health service.

If you’re a GP, you can request an RE to support you to transition your knowledge and skills to working remote.

What you can do to prepare

We work with many remote and very remote NT Aboriginal communities – each with different health access needs.

Whichever community you’re taking your placement in, there are some things you should know and can do.
