Coastal location. ED can get impressively busy, especially over the holiday period! Average 35-40 presentations daily but one day I worked over the Christmas/NYE period we got slammed with 71. Level of support varies depending on shift: #Morning 0800-1800 : Weekdays FACEM on site with you til 4pm, and you have the evening Dr with you from 1pm. # Evening 1300-2300 - solo Dr from 6pm # Night 2230-0800 - solo Dr You can call Coffs Harbour for advice and switch camera on. You can also call in local GP/anaesthetist. But when department is busy, you may get stuck with Cat1/2 with waiting room full and you’re it. No pathology on site just point of care iStat, only X-ray (no CT). No on call, good hourly rate and accommodation fantastic! Suitable for PGY5+ with rural ED experience and ALS2.

Macksville Hospital was a good locum to begin my first locum journey. It involved 10hr shifts as a locum ED registrar, with only 3.5hours where I was the only doctor on-site (but had a GP Anaesthetist on-call that I could contact if I needed support). The nurses are permanent staff and very autonomous. The ieMR system in NSW feels a little more clunky than I'm used to in QLD Health - however, this could be just because I am used to the way QLD Health is set up. The accommodation was a little difficult to find at night, but was spacious, clean and had a very comfortable bed. It's based in Nambucca, which is a 15 minute drive away from Macksville. It's less than 1km away from the water and some nice cafes. Unfortunately, it was pouring rain so I didn't get to enjoy the beach but it the Nambucca headland had some beautiful views. I would return to locum here - I would recommend candidates to be able to work autonomously and be comfortable using their own clinical judgment as there were some relatively sick patients that needed transfer to Coffs Harbour. I don't think you would need to be proficient in intubating but ALS and an idea on starting pressors would be beneficial if you needed to.
