Better health and ageing for all Australians

Health workforce programs

Nursing and Allied Health Rural Locum Scheme

This program is a component of the Australian Government's health reform agenda.

The placements will enable nurses, midwives and eligible allied health professionals in rural areas to take leave and for organisations to back-fill their positions to support ongoing service delivery. It will also enable interested nurses, midwives and eligible allied health professionals to experience rural practice through a locum placement.
