Notes about these numbers

  • These are advertised asking rates taken from clinic listings, not confirmed transacted pay. What a doctor is finally paid can differ from what was first advertised.
  • The sample is shift-weighted, not clinic-weighted. A clinic or chain that advertises many sessions contributes more listings than a clinic that advertises one, so the medians lean towards the busiest posters.
  • A shift may be advertised multiple times, sometimes at a higher rate. We use only its last advertised rate in the analysis.

Where to go next

Rates only tell you part of the story. The hours, the patient load, and the clinic matter just as much. If you are new to locum work, start with what is a locum doctor.
