Connecting Doctors to Communities 

At Ochre, we take the stress out of hiring. From advertising and candidate screening to registration and placement, we handle the entire recruitment process—so you can focus on delivering quality healthcare.

With nearly 20 years of experience and a trusted network of established doctors, we recruit both locally and internationally for permanent and locum roles. We work with hospitals, family practices, aged care facilities, correctional services, mining companies, Aboriginal Medical Services, and more—including our own Ochre Health centres.

Our expert consultants specialise in Australian and New Zealand Primary Care, Rural Generalist, and Hospital Specialty recruitment. Registration support is included to ensure your doctor can start work as quickly as possible.

Most of our clients choose to work with us on a contingent basis—meaning you only pay a fee if we successfully place a doctor with you.

How We Can Help

As a part of the Ochre Group network, 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.

  • Workforce Solutions

    Holding exclusive service arrangements with several hospitals in NSW, including GP FastTrack clinics, across NSW Local Health Districts, our medical workforce resources provider, Medical Directions, has a proven track record in developing and operating innovative medical workforce service models with an emphasis on safety, effectiveness, and sustainability.

    Being a niche provider of medical workforce to rural and regional services, the team is well versed in the challenges this presents and works with our partners in putting the best-equipped doctors on the ground as part of the clinical team.

  • 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.

    Get in touch with us today to find your ideal GP, VMO or Emergency Medicine Doctor and to register your vacancy.

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.

What our clients are saying about us

  • You always come through for us! Most importantly, you ensure the doctors you send us have Indigenous Health backgrounds and take a holistic approach to their patient care. That means they are able to handle patients with empathy and understand issues around their social and emotional well-being. Thank you!
