The Opportunity
Gorilla Jobs is seeking a Locum Orthopaedic Surgeon to support orthopaedic services in regional Northern NSW.
This role is ideal for a consultant, staff specialist or VMO who wants locum work to fit around life outside work, with ad hoc and block shifts to choose from and travel, accommodation and a hire car taken care of.
You will deliver trauma and elective surgical care, take part in consultant rosters and supervise registrars. Work may include outpatient clinics, operating lists and 24-hour on-call shifts, depending on location and schedule. Ad hoc and block shifts are available for upcoming dates.

Clinical Environment
• High-volume trauma and fracture caseload with complex presentations
• Modern, well-equipped theatres with dedicated nursing and anaesthetic support
• Collaboration with ED, inpatient and allied health teams, so you are not working in isolation
• Supervision and mentoring of registrars and junior doctors in a strong teaching culture
• Meaningful contribution to regional hospitals, where your expertise supports underserved communities

Requirements
• Current AHPRA Specialist Registration
• Fellowship with RACS (Orthopaedic Surgery) or equivalent
• NSW Working with Children Check and Police Check
• Willingness to complete onboarding and credentialing

Benefits




• Ad hoc and block shifts available for upcoming dates, so the placement fits around your commitments
• Return travel included, so getting there is not another cost to budget for
• Accommodation and hire car included, so everything is sorted before you arrive
• $3,000 per shift, based on shift type and experience
• Full credentialing and booking support through Gorilla Jobs

Location
Northern NSW offers coastal escapes, hinterland views and a peaceful community vibe, with a relaxed lifestyle outside work.
This is a strong prospect for an orthopaedic surgeon wanting regular locum work that fits around life outside work, with the logistics sorted.

Referral Program
Also, if locum work isn’t for you at the moment but you know another doctor who may be interested, we do have a referral program. Successful referrals can receive a $1,100 prepaid gift card for non-specialist doctors, or $1,600 for specialist/consultant referrals, once the referred doctor has completed the required shifts.
