Ochre Recruitment has been partnering with healthcare employers across Australia and New Zealand for over twenty years. 

As a part of the Ochre Health Group, we understand your needs as a medical provider. 

We come from your side of the table, and understand the complexities of running a practice and a department. Our experienced team will assist you in finding not only the highest quality doctor for your vacancy, but also the best match to fit your team.

General Practice & Rural Generalism

Because we specialise in general practice and rural generalism, we have GPs with a wider range of specialties than any other agency. With close to 10,000 General Practitioners in our database, we are confident in our ability to provide you with the right doctor every time. We recruit GPs for locum and VMO hospital positions across Australia and are also adept at finding you a more long-term permanent GP for practice in New Zealand.

While we work with doctors, practices and hospitals in most urban, rural and remote regions, we are well respected and renowned for our commitment to helping solve the regional shortage of doctors.

Locum Roster Management

We exclusively manage Emergency Medicine locum rosters for hospitals and deliver workforce solutions to healthcare providers in both Australia and New Zealand. 

We work with ED doctors from PGY2 to FACEM.

Our Recruitment Process in a Nutshell

1. Screening

Our comprehensive assessment of medical skills, experiences, English language proficiency, references and candidate documentations means that only the best candidates proceed to the next phase.

2. Job Matching

Only after a candidate's skills, attributes and career goals are determined are they introduced to potential employers. Job matching is finalised once both parties have formally agreed to the new position.

3. Job Tracking

We manage all administrative processes, ensuring paperwork is completed on time. We complete regular internal audits to ensure high levels of compliance and quality.

4. Medicare

We can assist doctors in completing the necessary documentation for a Provider Number, 19AA application or 19AB application as required.

5. Paperwork

If a doctor is required to be credentialed to work in a hospital or health facility, we will liaise with the appropriate health service or district to ensure the correct paperwork is completed.

6. Placement

A welcome pack is provided to the doctor to assist in their orientation to their new workplace. Follow-up checks are made with both the client and doctor to obtain feedback.
