What are the salaries of locum doctors in Sydney and other parts of NSW?

Like any other geographical location, the salary for locum doctors in New South Wales depends on several factors, namely


  • Location
  • Urgency
  • Specialty
  • Seniority
  • Longevity


The landscape can be complex, but a dedicated recruitment agency that solely focuses on healthcare jobs in public and private facilities all around Australia is ideally placed to help you navigate the minefield and find that locum job that is ideal for you. All you need to do is give us your checklist, and we will do the rest.

For example, shifts in rural and more remote locations will generally offer a higher salary as the resources are quite scarce. So an Anaesthetist in metropolitan Sydney, may not earn as much as an Anaesthetist in remote NSW. However, if the salary is a major driving factor, then the advantage of working remotely includes:


  • Access to a broader range of presentations
  • Access to a broader range of responsibilities, including mentorship
  • Access to mentorship with experienced consultants
  • Travel and accommodation usually organised for you
