Role
Locum Anaesthetists for On-Call Work (Private Hospital Mornington Peninsula)
We are partnering with a major private hospital in the Mornington Peninsula (300+ beds) to help them establish a Contingent Anaesthetics On-Call Roster, with services commencing from 1st October 2025.
This is a flexible opportunity for anaesthetists interested in picking up overnight, emergency-only work, with the ability to plan shifts well in advance.
Shift Details
- Monday to Thursday: 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM (12 hours)
- Weekends (Friday 6:00 PM to Monday 6:00 AM): 24-hour blocks
- Slight flexibility around start times to accommodate any daytime list overruns.
Daytime anaesthetics service will cover any delays.
Location & Accommodation
- Anaesthetists must be in South East Melbourne or nearby.
- Accommodation can be arranged if required.
Coverage Responsibilities
- Emergency Anaesthetics Only for: Orthopaedics, Plastics, Urology, and General Surgery.
- Obstetrics and Cardio-Thoracic have their own rosters.
- On average, call-ins occur once every six nights.
- Weekend day lists may include urgent cases (typically 2-7) which cannot be delayed until Monday.
- Doctors retain full billings for these cases.
Hospital Support
- The hospital is fully equipped with a 24/7 ICU and ED.
- Emergency Department manages the majority of overnight presentations - anaesthetists will never be expected to operate unsupported.
- This is purely a contingency service and will not be used to backfill daytime rosters.
Remuneration
- Midweek (12-hour shift): $1,500
- Weekend (24-hour shift): $3,000
- In addition to the above, doctors retain their own billings.
While this may be minimal midweek, there is potential upside for weekend coverage where urgent lists are run.
Next Steps
We are currently gathering Expressions of Interest from anaesthetists who would like to be considered for this roster.
This is a great opportunity to secure flexible after-hours work at a well-supported private hospital, with clear expectations and fair compensation.
