RATES OF PAY FOR LOCUMS
Rates of remuneration for locums range from $80/hr to $200/hr (all inclusive of salary and benefits) plus superannuation, GST depending on employee or contractor status, reimbursement of per kilometre travel allowance or return airfares (for rural locums) and suitable accommodation (for rural locums). Rates depend on degree of experience, the urgency or difficulty of a position and the amount of notice required.Some of our locums have an ABN and are prepared to work as contractors, billing the Local Health District or employer directly. We make the assumption that hospital locums working on the hospital / Local Health District payroll will be generally employer/hospital indemnified and that locums billing on their own ABNs are responsible for their own indemnity.
