Melissa Irvine

Prior to joining Ochre Recruitment, Melissa spent five years working in HR at the Royal Hobart Hospital. The move to Ochre in 2015 was a smooth transition, applying all of her experience with medical staffing and rosters to help her hospital clients at Ochre Recruitment.

Mel is passionate about improving accessibility to healthcare in rural and remote areas of Australia and New Zealand.

Having worked with both General Practices and Hospital clients across most of Australia, Mel is embarking in the next step in her career expanding her Regulatory, and overseas recruitment experience in order to help more overseas doctors relocate to New Zealand. Her efforts to understand her doctors’ special interests and values leave those she works with in no doubt that they are in safe hands.

Mel and mother nature are connected—whenever possible, you’ll find her outdoors in the vegie patch, bushwalking, bodyboarding or camping. Her husband and two children are her world.

“Working with doctors who are the backbone of rural and remote communities is very rewarding. I love my role here at Ochre and I wouldn’t change it for the world.”
