Jon & Jon Medical Recruitment: July 2024 Locum Psychiatry Update: Tasmania Takes the lead

Following our July rural GP update, let's shift focus to the locum psychiatry desk, spearheaded by Ryan Frank. Analysing July's placement data, we see some interesting trends emerge


Tasmania: The Psychiatry locum Hotspot


Tasmania secured the top spot for psychiatrist locum placements in July, with a total of 14 assignments. The demand for locum cover remains constant in Tasmania, with a continued need for mental health professionals in the region.

Diverse locum types and competitive rates:


Jon & Jon successfully placed a range of locum psychiatrists and registrars, showcasing our ability to cater to diverse skill sets and experience levels. Our team worked diligently to secure competitive rates, with an average daily rate of $2,645.00 for psychiatrists and $1,420.00 for registrars.
Our team worked diligently to secure competitive rates for our locum psychiatrists, ensuring their expertise is appropriately valued.
  • Highest daily rate: $3,000.00 (Locum Psychiatrist, TAS & NT)
  • Average daily rate for Locum Psychiatrists: $2,645.24
  • Average daily rate for Locum Psychiatry Registrars: $1,420.00

Streamlined compliance: Easing the locum journey


We understand that navigating compliance requirements can be daunting, especially for first-timers. Our dedicated team, including Ryan and Kate, takes pride in simplifying this process, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience for our doctors. Their efforts have earned praise from locums like Dr. Sarah N, who recently shared:
"Locuming can feel daunting for the first time, but Jon & Jon, particularly Ryan and Kate, have made the process seamless. They have been attentive to my needs/wants for locum work and are excellent with communication with myself and a wide range of services Australia-wide. Highly recommend it."

July was a successful month for the locum psychiatry desk, with Tasmania emerging as a key area of opportunity. We're proud to connect skilled psychiatrists with rewarding locum assignments across Australia, and we look forward to continued growth in this sector.
