Practices

Doctor Connect works with General Practices in all regions of Australia to connect them with qualified FRACGP, FACRRM and experienced Specialist IMGs who hold a suitable Family Medicine Specialist Qualification. We have been at the forefront of helping doctors and practices take advantage of available opportunities for several years and continue to provide excellent service, including matching and registration support.

We will work to support you if you have a vacancy for a GP by finding a suitable doctor who holds Specialist Registration, or those eligible for the AHPRA Expedited Pathway, or the RACGP PEP Specialist Pathway.

Our Process

1. Confirm Job Details

We will work with you to confirm the details of your:

• Town / Suburb
• Practice
• Open GP Job

We have extensive experience assisting metro, rural and remote GP practices and therefore have a good understanding of what will make a placement successful.

2. Promote Opportunity

We will promote the opportunity to our candidate pool, including active candidates who we know to be suited.

3. Present Shortlist

You will be presented with a short list of suitable candidates and we will arrange a face-to-face meeting.

4. Arrange Interview/s

We arrange for the candidate to meet with relevant practice management team members to ensure that the practice is happy with the skillset and that the incoming doctor understands the opportunity and commitment.

5. Negotiate to confirm the arrangement

If the candidate is suitable, we will manage the offer and commitment, including arranging all the required paperwork. Our depth of knowledge of this entire process will ensure that you are only contacted for information when needed.

6. Invoice and Costs to Consider

We are a traditional contingency recruitment company. Our introduction, registration, and support services come with a fee to the practice. This will be discussed with you beforehand and invoiced accordingly. There is an additional cost to be considered for the nomination for a visa with the Immigration Department. We’re confident that the costs to the practice will easily be recouped in the first 6 – 12 months of having an experienced GP join your team.

Moving Forward

We are working with active job-seeking doctors, so may be able to help to fill your placement in the short term. This will play an important part in balancing the Australian Rural GP workforce and equity in primary healthcare provision.

We welcome the opportunity to assist you in finding a doctor with the right skills, personality and commitment to be a part of your practice for many years. Please contact us if you would like to discuss this further.
