Where are the Medicos.

If you are going into the 'outback' why not check with Flying Doctor. They will be able to tell you. Otherwise just check with local people, shopkeeper, Servo, Police Station etc.

The RFDS has a assistance number where you can speak to a duty Doctor.

The best number is 000 and speak to a Ambo, the Ambos who man the phones are very highly trained and in some cases better then the ones on the road.

If it a illness you would be better speaking to a Doctor but if it is an emergency you would be better speaking to someone who has emergency and patient care experience.

Not all doctors are trained or good at emergency medicine.

Both the RFDS and Ambos would be able to put you in contact with a medical person.
