It is expected that the successful applicant, who has been recruited from overseas, will commence within 12 weeks. A locum podiatrist is continuing to attend the Pilbara on a regular basis; that is, one week, or five days, every six weeks. (2) Once the podiatrist commences there will be monthly visits to Newman.
