How To Find The Best Locum Doctor Recruitment Agency For You?
Lets take a Deep look into How To Find The Best Locum Doctor Recruitment Agency in Australia For You?
If there is one thing, you can be sure there will never be a shortage of Australian locum agencies.
Healthcare recruitment is vast. From one person to a boutique to a handful of large-scale corporate entities, competition is fierce, and that’s a good thing.
More competition means more incentive to show you as a locum doctor if our marketing spiel matches reality.
Before you choose the first sponsored ad you have seen on Google, consider these handy hints on finding the best locum doctor recruitment agency for you.
Ask a Mate
There’s a good chance that the friends you went to medical school with will end up on the locum doctor scene in their early career. If they have already taken the plunge, bombard that Whatsapp group with requests for a candid breakdown of the best
locum doctor agencies
they have used.
Payment Process
Does the locum agency use an
outsourced payroll function?
We recommend you ask this vital question. Why? Because if they do, it means they are loaning the money to pay you. If they have their own in-house you can rest assured they have built you healthy reserves from happy clients to make sure you are paid weekly with no fuss for your locum work.
Google Reviews
The proof is in the locum pudding, and you can find out a huge amount of happy customers that have come before you. A public
Google Review
is a hefty stamp of approval for the locum agency, so get your cup of tea and get browsing them.
Flexibility
Did the locum agency you just called get you off the phone within minutes and just ask you to fill out an online form? That’s probably one to avoid. However, if they took 30 minutes to delve deeper to get to know what you want from
locum jobs in Australia
, and then offered to meet you and walk you through your paperwork, they may be a keeper.
Market knowledge
How many locum jobs were you presented with? How quickly did they do this? How confident were they explaining what it’s really like to work at a location? A locum agency that shares is a locum agency that cares. Put them on the spot and listen hard for those gems of wisdom.

Hi, it’s Jay from Blugibbon. I’ve worked in psychiatry recruitment for more than eight years, and since relocating to Australia, I’ve noticed something that keeps coming up. Emergency doctors make outstanding psychiatrists. It isn’t a one-off observation. I’ve seen it repeatedly in hospitals across the country. The core skill set of an emergency physician translates naturally into psychiatry, particularly in crisis care and acute mental health settings. If you want an inspiring example, listen to Dr Katie Treble on ABC Conversations as she shares her journey from emergency medicine to psychiatry. It’s a brilliant insight into what this transition can look like in real life. ๏ปฟ
