The Ochre Difference

We are an agency of choice because we are also a medical provider. We have a thorough understanding of hospital operations and the challenges facing both doctors and emergency departments and as such, are experts in negotiating positive outcomes for doctors and clients alike.

We work in exclusive collaboration with the Tasmania Health Service (THS) and Western NSW Health District to fill their hospital locum rosters, so our doctors get access to ED shifts before they go to market.

We help General Practitioners maintain their emergency capabilities and upskill with locum roles in the emergency department.

We develop meaningful relationships that last the distance. We’ve been working with local and state-wide health services for over 22 years.·
