ο»Ώ Locum doctors and nurses across Emergency, Psychiatry, Surgery, ICU, General Practice, and Medical specialties give a lot. Long shifts in Emergency. Emotionally demanding work in mental health. High-pressure theatres and ICUs. Busy GP clinics. RMOs rotating through unfamiliar teams and hospitals. Add shift work, nights, weekends, and constant change, and it becomes clear why wellbeing matters so deeply for healthcare workers , especially those working locum or rotating contracts. At Blugibbon, we believe supporting doctors and nurses means more than filling rosters. It means creating community, balance, and continuity , particularly for those working across Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs. That is why we are opening up a free monthly wellbeing session for doctors and nurses , regardless of specialty or contract type.
If you’re a doctor looking for short-term, high-paying work outside the hospital system, offshore medicine in Australia is one of the most exclusive and rewarding options available. These roles support oil and gas operations, drilling vessels, and remote energy sites, and they’re not for everyone. Offshore operators want doctors who are fully credentialed, calm under pressure, and ready to deploy. That’s why most offshore doctor jobs are never advertised publicly... and why specialist agencies like Blugibbon exist. ο»Ώ
The Expedited Specialist Pathway (ESP) in Australia has officially expanded to include General Medicine and General Paediatrics , effective 19 January 2026 . According to the latest announcement from Ahpra and the Medical Board of Australia , well-credentialed, internationally trained physicians and paediatricians from comparable health systems can now access this fast-track specialist registration pathway . This is one of the most significant updates to medical registration in Australia in recent years, particularly for UK and Irish-trained specialists, international medical graduates (IMGs) , and doctors seeking specialist jobs or locum work in Australia.

ο»Ώ For experienced GP Emergency doctors and rural locums, Norfolk Island is one of the most remote and unusual medical placements available in Australia. This is not a typical locum role. It is a high responsibility environment that requires confidence, resilience, and a realistic understanding of what isolated medicine involves. At Blugibbon, we believe doctors deserve clear, accurate information before committing to remote or offshore locum work. The aim is always to match the right doctor to the right environment. What follows is a grounded overview of GP Emergency work on Norfolk Island, based on firsthand experience during a particularly busy Christmas and New Year period.
