Achieving your FRANZCP Fellowship in 2026?
Congratulations
After years of training, you’re about to take the next step into consultant psychiatry.
But your first consultant position doesn’t have to mean committing immediately to a permanent role.
Locum psychiatry offers the flexibility to explore different services, locations and models of care while earning excellent rates and building valuable consultant experience.
We are seeking soon-to-be and newly qualified FRANZCP Fellows for consultant psychiatry locum opportunities across Australia.
Why Choose Locum Psychiatry?
Your first consultant role doesn’t have to be your forever role.
Locum work allows you to experience different healthcare settings, work alongside diverse teams and explore locations across Australia-all while building confidence as an independent consultant.

- Competitive daily and weekly rates.
- Choose when and where you work.
- Explore metropolitan, coastal, regional and rural locations.

- Take breaks between assignments for genuine work-life balance.
- Strengthen your consultant CV and discover what type of role suits you best.
- A Great Option for New Fellows
For many newly qualified psychiatrists, locum work provides a valuable transition from registrar training to consultant-level practice.
Locum assignments can help you
- Transition gradually into independent consultant practice.
- Build confidence in clinical decision-making and leadership.
- Experience different health services and models of care.
- Explore potential future employers before making a permanent commitment.
- Maximise your earning potential early in your consultant career.
- Identify the locations, teams and clinical environments that best match your career goals.
- Opportunities Across Australia
We work with public and private mental health services across a wide range of specialties, including:
- Community Mental Health
- Inpatient Psychiatry
- Emergency Mental Health
- Older Persons Psychiatry

- Rural and Remote Psychiatry
Assignments range from short-term cover to longer-term contracts, with opportunities available across metropolitan, regional, coastal, rural and remote Australia.

- Are achieving or have recently achieved FRANZCP Fellowship.
- Are eligible for Specialist Registration with AHPRA.
- Are interested in flexible consultant-level opportunities.
- Want to broaden their experience and career options.
