Emergency Medicine & Psychiatry Locum Staffing — WA & NT
Emergency Medicine and Psychiatry are WA, NT, VIC and QLD hospitals' two most acute staffing pain points — ED rostering gaps and mental health workforce shortages. AU Locums Direct places FACEM consultants, ED registrars, consultant psychiatrists, and psychiatry registrars across 27+ hospitals in WA, NT, VIC and QLD, with a response time measured in hours, not days.

AU Locums Direct places FACEM consultants and emergency registrars across Perth metro EDs (Fiona Stanley, Royal Perth, Sir Charles Gairdner, Joondalup) and NT (Royal Darwin, Alice Springs) — with most urgent placements confirmed within 18-24 hours.

Why Hospitals Choose Us for Emergency & Psychiatry Cover
Hours, not days
Most Emergency Medicine and Psychiatry placements are confirmed within 18-48 hours of the initial enquiry — not the 3-5 day turnaround typical of national agencies.
Pre-credentialed doctors
Every doctor in our network is AHPRA-verified, insured, and compliance-checked before they're ever proposed for a role. No last-minute credentialing surprises.
Named consultant
You deal with the same consultant every time — someone who already knows your facility, your specialty needs, and your history with us.
Seniority-matched
We distinguish between FACEM consultants and registrars, and between consultant psychiatrists and registrars — and present candidates matched to the specific seniority level you need.
Supervision confirmed
For registrar-level placements in both specialties, supervision arrangements are confirmed before the doctor is proposed — not left as a post-placement detail.
24/7 urgent response
ED and mental health gaps don't wait for business hours. Call us directly any time — a consultant answers, not a voicemail.
