Ochre Recruitment has been partnering with healthcare employers across Australia and New Zealand for 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 some public 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.
Workforce Solutions
Holding exclusive service arrangements with over 10 hospitals, including GP FastTrack clinics, across four 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.

Why our eight-step recruitment process works
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 are 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. Registration
We facilitate the registration of candidates through the various AMC Pathways, including Area of Need, Competent Authority Pathway, Partially Comparable Pathway, General Registration and Specialist Pathway Program.
5. Immigration
We provide visa and immigration assistance and guidance to the candidate, helping to prepare immigration documentation once they have met registration eligibility.
6. Medicare
We can assist doctors in completing the necessary documentation for a Provider Number, 19AA application, 19AB application, or ROMPs as required.
7. Credentialing
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 and to confirm eligibility.
8. Placement
A welcome pack and information sheet is provided to the doctor to assist in their orientation to their new workplace. Follow-up checks are made with both the employee and doctor to obtain feedback.
