Refer a Doctor. Change Their Career. Maybe Win $5,000. Maybe make some life changing memories!

The best locum doctors rarely come from job boards.


They come from referrals.


A colleague in the department.
A registrar you worked nights with.
A GP friend who keeps talking about wanting more flexibility.


At Blugibbon, most of the doctors we work with were introduced to us by another doctor.


And that makes sense.


Medicine is a small world. Doctors trust other doctors.


So when a friend says, "You should speak to these guys. They actually look after you." People listen.


That is exactly why our doctor referral programme exists.


Because great doctors know great doctors.

Why So Many Doctors Are Moving Into Locum Work


Across Australia, there has never been a bigger demand for doctors.


Hospitals need experienced clinicians in:

  • Emergency medicine
  • ICU and critical care
  • Psychiatry
  • General practice
  • Rural medicine
  • Registrar and RMO roles


That demand has created incredible opportunities for doctors who want more control over their careers.


Many doctors are choosing locum doctor jobs in Australia because they offer:

  • Higher pay rates
    Flexible rosters
    Travel opportunities
    Exposure to new hospitals and departments
    More control over work-life balance

Some doctors locum for a year to travel.


Others use it to build experience before settling into a permanent role.



Many never go back.

Why Doctors Refer Their Friends to Blugibbon


Doctors are selective about who they recommend.


That trust matters to us.


Blugibbon was built around long-term relationships with doctors and hospitals, not quick transactions.


Doctors refer their colleagues to us because we provide:

  • A dedicated recruiter who knows their specialty
  • Transparent conversations about hospitals and departments
  • Fast credentialing and compliance support
  • Weekly payroll and reliable payments
  • Access to some of the best locum doctor jobs across Australia


Our purpose has always been simple.


To connect world-class doctors with the communities that need them while building lifelong relationships along the way.


Doctors We Are Currently Looking For


Hospitals across Australia are urgently looking for:

  • ICU Registrars
  • Emergency Medicine Registrars
  • Psychiatrists and Psychiatry Registrars
  • GP Locums
  • RMO and SRMO doctors


These roles exist in major cities and regional centres across NSW, Queensland, Victoria and Western Australia.


Many include travel and accommodation support.


If you know a doctor in any of these areas who is curious about locum work, we would love to speak with them.

Locum Work Is Often Found Through People, Not Job Boards


Many of the best medical locum jobs in Australia never appear publicly.

They move quickly.


Departments call recruiters they trust.


Recruiters call doctors they already know.


That is why referrals are so powerful.


A simple introduction can open the door to opportunities that completely change someone’s career.


Know a Doctor Who Might Be Interested?


If you know a doctor who might be curious about locum work, introduce them.

It could be:

  • A registrar finishing training
  • A consultant wanting more flexibility
  • A GP looking for rural experience
  • A colleague planning to travel Australia


Send them our way and we will take great care of them.


And you might find yourself spinning the wheel for $5,000 in travel vouchers.
