Clinical Staffing That Solves Real Operational Problems

You're not looking for a recruiter who sends CVs and hopes for the best. You need someone who understands what a GP vacancy costs per session, what the 24/7 RN mandate means for your roster, and why a poor-fit locum disrupts a practice for weeks.

That's the conversation we start with.

Medcare by Caretakers Australia places doctors, nurses, and care professionals in GP practices, aged care facilities, and hospitals across Australia. Locum and permanent. Metro and regional.

Roles we fill

GP Practices — Locum & Permanent

Short-notice locum cover through to permanent GP recruitment. We work with solo practices, group practices, GP superclinics, and bulk-billing centres. We ask about your patient demographic, billing model, and consultation style before we present a single candidate.

Aged Care — RNs, ENs, PCWs

Residential aged care facilities operating under the 24/7 RN mandate and 215 care-minute requirement need reliable, credentialed staff. We maintain a pipeline of aged care-registered nurses and personal care workers available for both agency shifts and permanent roles.

Tell us what you need

One call or enquiry form. We'll ask about the role, your setting, timeline, and what a good fit looks like — not just the job title.

02

We shortlist, you choose

We present 2–3 candidates who meet your criteria, with notes on why each one suits your practice or facility. No bulk CV drops.

03

We handle the compliance

AHPRA registration, medical indemnity, working rights, background checks — confirmed before you meet the candidate.
