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.·

How much do ED locum Doctors
earn in Australia?

Rates for Emergency Medicine doctors vary across each state and location. Hospitals based in metropolitan and regional areas do tend to pay a basic rate and offer less accommodation and travel benefits. If you choose to work in rural or remote regions, doctors will receive higher rates in addition to having travel and rental car expenses covered and shared or family accommodation provided.

Our remarkable doctors
are our ambassadors

  • Ochre has made a tremendous impact on my work life. They provide a variety of locum sites, great logistical support, thorough pre-placement information about the town, health facility and what to expect. I would recommend the services of Ochre Recruitment to any doctors who are considering locum work or who are frustrated by their current agency.
