About us
Welcome to Rural LAP – your trusted partner in providing targeted locum support services to healthcare professionals and aged care workers in rural and remote Australia. As a vital component of the Australian Government’s rural workforce capacity agenda, our primary focus is supporting aged care workers, obstetricians, anaesthetists, nurses, and allied health professionals in rural and remote regions. We understand the unique challenges faced by health and aged care services in these areas, and our mission is to ensure they receive the support they need. Our health service offering is locum coverage for continuing professional development (CPD) and recreation leave. Our aged care focus is supporting facilities in rural and remote locations impacted by sudden departures, annual leave, and training. We understand the importance of CPD and work-life balance. Our health service program offers rural locum coverage for up to 14 working days and up to 28 working days for placements in remote locations. Our aged care program covers between 14 and 90 calendar days. Under exceptional circumstances, facilities can request an extension of up to 30 additional days. Our Australian Government-funded program ensures no fees or charges associated with accessing our locum services. We cover the costs of locum travel, accommodation, and incentives, allowing health and aged care workers to take CPD leave or well-deserved breaks while ensuring uninterrupted service delivery. We go above and beyond by supporting and recruiting suitable locums for health and aged care workers during their leave, enabling their service to maintain seamless operations and ensure the continuity of care. Rest assured, we handle all locum recruitment, travel, and accommodation costs, removing the administrative burden for your service. Join us in our mission to enhance health and aged care services in rural and remote Australia.
