Re-igniting my passion for medicine.

Dr Eva Rosenbaum

The medical world is tough, and the journey is a long one. Really long. Australia-based doctor Eva Rosenbaum came to medicine later in life, after 10 years working as a paramedic. Here, Dr Eva talks about re-igniting her passion for medicine – and staying passionate – even when the road gets tough.

I was as passionate about medicine as anyone could be. But the journey through medicine can be gruelling and it's long. It's very, very long.

Free, end-to-end service

From job search to travel, paperwork and beyond - we’ve got it covered. Our expert team will connect you with the right opportunities for you, whether you’re looking for flexibility, higher pay, or career progression.

Frequently Asked Questions

When you sign up with Medrecruit, we’ll start by checking your credentials and making sure you’re ‘job ready’ with all the right paperwork in place. You’ll receive regular updates of jobs which match your search terms, and your personal Solutions Specialist will be in touch if they see a job they think you’ll be interested in.

When you apply for a job, Medrecruit will present your credentials, experience and attributes to the relevant contact. This is why it’s important to only sign up with one agency – hiring staff get frustrated by multiple presentations from the same doctor.

No, our service is free for doctors! We're paid by hospitals and clinics for our services and are preferred suppliers in several states and areas. Because we have a huge network of doctors, we save clinics and hospitals time (and money) by taking the stress out of the hiring and credentialing process.

Your registration number, a current CV and three references are the essentials of any job application. Other paperwork that's commonly required is:

  • Evidence of vaccinations,
  • Evidence of your degree/fellowship,
  • Annual Practicing Certificates,
  • Indemnity,
  • A certified copy of your passport and/or driver’s licence,
  • Police vetting form.

What you'll need can vary slightly between Australian states and New Zealand. Some states/locations also require you to complete an online training course (eMedical Courses). We're here to help guide you through the requirements, and we'll give you a checklist detailing everything you need.

We specialise in recruiting doctors for rewarding positions in Australia and New Zealand, this include General Practitioners. Our dedicated team connects qualified medical professionals with diverse health services, offering a wide range of jobs for doctors in various specialties. Whether you're a GP seeking locum or permanent opportunities, full time or part time, we're here to help. We streamline the recruitment process, from finding job opportunities that align with your career and lifestyle goals, to making sure you're set up on your first day of placement. Explore exciting new career prospects by getting in touch!

Known as one of the best medical locum recruitment agencies in Australia and New Zealand, we're preferred suppliers to hospitals and health care practices across Australasia. This means we can get jobs to you before they've reached the market. Our recruiters and dedicated placement teams go the extra mile to deliver exceptional service and be the very best locum agency. Our consultants are experienced, knowledgeable and strong negotiators. They will find the right job for you at the best rate.

This depends on where you work – the hospital or clinic chooses how a doctor is paid. This will work one of three ways:

  • You’re paid by the hospital/clinic as an employee
  • You’re paid by the hospital/clinic as a contractor
  • Medrecruit pays you directly (this can be as a casual employee of Medrecruit or via your company)

Your recruitment specialist can tell you which method you’ll be paid for each job you undertake.
