General Practitioner Anaesthetists’ Locum Scheme (GPALS)

GPALS is a Locum Scheme especially for GP Anaesthetists throughout rural and remote Australia. Funded by the Australian Government, the Scheme is also the facilitator of Government subsidies for rural/remote GP Anaesthetist locum relief.
Host subsidies per GP Anaesthestist requiring relief include:
• $750/day for locum service fees up to 14 days/financial year (i.e. up to $10,500)
• Up to $1500/placement for locum travel costs.
Rural practices/hospitals that arrange their GP Anaesthetist locum privately may also be eligible to access the subsidies. Access is easy - there is no administration fee or hidden costs and the paperwork is effortless (3-5 minutes to complete).
GPALS is also seeking GP Anaesthetists (JCCA accredited or equivalent) or Specialist Anaesthetists to register for locum work. A travel time subsidy of up to $500/placement applies.
