The process

How we place doctors

01

Tell us what you need

Practices submit a brief — location, billing model, hours, and any specific requirements. Doctors register with their specialty, availability, and location preferences.

02

We screen and verify

Every candidate is verified against AHPRA registration, medical indemnity, working rights, and references before we present them to any practice.

03

Match and introduce

We present shortlisted, pre-screened candidates that fit your specific needs — not a bulk list. Quality over volume, every time.

04

Contracts and onboarding

We handle placement agreements, coordinate credentialing documentation, and stay in contact throughout the placement to ensure it works for both parties.

IMG

"Medlink found us a VR GP for our rural Queensland clinic within three weeks — something we'd been trying to do ourselves for over a year. The candidate was pre-screened, compliant, and a perfect fit for our community."

Why Medlink

Built differently from the start

01

Compliance first, always

Every doctor we present is AHPRA-verified, holds current medical indemnity, and has confirmed working rights in Australia. No shortcuts.

02

Rural is our strength

We know the 5YR IMG Scheme, DPA classifications, MMM categories, and rural incentive programs inside out. We place where others can't.

03

No placement, no fee

Practices only pay when we successfully place a doctor. No upfront costs, no retainers, no subscriptions. Pure results-based service.

04

IMG specialists

We support International Medical Graduates through the full AHPRA pathway and connect them with visa specialists — creating a pipeline that domestic-only agencies miss.

05

Personal, not transactional

Every placement is managed by a dedicated consultant, not a job board algorithm. We build long-term relationships with both practices and doctors.

06

Nationwide reach

From Brisbane's inner suburbs to remote Northern Territory communities — we place GPs across every state and territory in Australia.
