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.

RegistrarJobs in Australia

Q: Where is the work in Australia?

There are roles available right across Australia. Where the work is depends on your experience and specialty. Many (though certainly not all) locum roles are in rural areas. Overseas-trained doctors are required to work in a rural area of need for a period of time. Lots of doctors we work with love earning extra and exploring the country through locum and permanent placements. You can find out more about our current job listings on the job search page.

Q: Can I work in Australia?

AHPRA registered doctors have lots of opportunities to find permanent and locum work in Australia. Kiwi doctors can work in Australia – you'll need to gain AHPRA registration, and we can assist you in this process. Doctors who gained their primary medical degree overseas are known as International Medical Graduates (IMGs). Ideally, you will have a few years' experience in a comparative health system (like in the UK or Ireland) under your belt. There are a few pathways to work in Australia but it's important to note that there are restrictions on where and how you can work.

Q: What paperwork will I need to apply for roles?

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.

Q: Do you charge a fee to doctors?

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.
