The problem

A bad hire in a medical centre costs far more than the salary.

A receptionist who books wrong loses the practice money on every shift.

Doctor support

Doctors stay where the practice works.

01

Registration & Medicare

Provider number, PRODA, HPOS, credentialing file and, for overseas-trained doctors, the full AMC, Ahpra, visa and Section 19AB pathway.

02

Systems ready

Best Practice user, templates, letter layouts, fee schedule, recalls and secure messaging set up before the first session.

03

Nurse & reception support

Care plans, health assessments and recalls run by a trained nurse; bookings, billing and follow-up handled by a reception team that knows the rules.

04

Billing & income

Item-number and workflow guidance so the doctor is paid correctly for the work they do, and a practice manager who reviews it monthly.

How we recruit

Four steps to a hire that sticks.

i.

Scope the role

What the practice actually needs, at what hours, with which skills, and whether the answer is a hire, training, or a workflow fix.

ii.

Screen like operators

Advertising, shortlisting and interviews run by practice managers, with practical testing on software, billing and phone manner.

iii.

Onboard properly

Contracts, orientation, immunisation and training records, and hands-on onboarding into your systems by us, not left to a busy team.

iv.

Support the first weeks

Check-ins, coaching and adjustment in the first four to six weeks: the period when most new medical staff quietly decide whether to stay.

Common questions

Questions practice owners actually ask.

Do you recruit doctors as well as staff?

Yes. Local GPs and overseas-trained doctors. For international medical graduates the process runs through five government bodies and, for practices outside Distribution Priority Areas, a Section 19AB exemption: we handle all of it. See IMG doctor recruitment.

Can you supply an interim practice manager or receptionist?

Yes. We provide interim and remote practice management between hires, and our senior practice managers can cover a front desk during recruitment or leave while we train the permanent hire.

What roles do you recruit?

Medical receptionists, senior receptionists and reception team leaders, practice nurses, practice managers and operations managers, and general practitioners.
