About us

We are a family run recruitment agency for doctors and we are here to make your job search fun. We have jobs for doctors all across Australia and New Zealand.

We’ve been doing this for years and we know how to make it as painless as possible for you, allowing you to focus on the important things, like practicing medicine. 

So if you have availability to pick up locum work, or you are looking for a new salaried contract, Doctors On The Fly can make your lifestyle dreams become a reality. Let’s talk.

An overview

What we do

Looking for a list of our jobs?

Doctors On The Fly partner with hospitals and clinics throughout Australia and New Zealand to find doctors to cover shortfalls in their rosters. This could be a gap of one shift, a 3 month contract, a permanent opportunity and every other possible scenario in between.

Our particular specialty at Doctors On The Fly is flying our doctors off to cover locum shifts in the more rural and remote areas of Australia and NZ.  This tends to go hand in hand with our doctors getting to explore some of the most breathtaking scenery these two countries have to offer; it’s all a part of the locum adventure. 

We send doctors to towns that you’ve likely never even heard of. We are the middle man between you and the hospitals or clinics, meaning we take care of things like sorting out your shifts, getting you paid on time and any compliance and clinical scope of practice paperwork requirements.

Flights, accommodation and a car are almost always provided as a part of the package, we can also help you access salary packaging and other benefits. Doctors On The Fly will be on hand to support and advise you every step of the journey.

So if you have a desire to explore, learn from and experience new hospitals and earn excellent money while doing it – get in touch with us today using our contact page.

IS IT FOR YOU?

The road to locuming

The road to becoming a locum looks different for everybody. While there are similarities among the reasons doctors locum, there is no set mould that you have to fit into. 

You might have decided to take some time out of your training program to recharge or catch up on study, but you don’t want to stop earning money. Or you are chasing the surf and want shifts in a department situated near the best breaks on the coast. You could be saving up for a house deposit.

Perhaps you have dropped down to 0.5FTE in your large tertiary hospital and want to travel and make a difference to a small remote community on your days off. You’ve reached the end of your full time career and decide to pack up and hit the road in a campervan with your loved one and your dog called Rover.

Maybe you’re looking for a last hurrah before settling down and starting a family, or you already have little ones and you want more flexibility in your roster. Whatever your reasons, our job is to make it happen for you. Does the locum lifestyle sound like something you’d enjoy?

How our sign up process works

An informal chat to kick things off

We like to get to know our doctors, so before you have to start filling out any official documents, let’s chat. We speak with you about what you are looking for, give you a chance to ask any questions, then we come up with a plan of action as to how we can best look after you. Either give us a call, shoot us an email, or send us your contact details via our (very simple) sign up form in the contact page.

next is paperwork & compliance

We focus on getting the basics right before promising you the earth. There will definitely be paperwork involved (especially so you can get paid on time), but we have fine-tuned this process over many years of working in the industry. We have come up with a system that makes this as easy as possible and keeps you updated every step of the way, we promise we don’t send you the same form twice.

then we send you off on adventures

We work with you to find a job that matches your skills, roster preferences, desired location, preferred rates and any other things that are important to you. We will book you into your assignments and take care of all of your travel and accommodation requirements. Need oversized luggage for that surfboard? A cot for your young child? We’ll help sort that for you. Pack your bags, you’re going locuming!

our service

We are good at this

Choosing an agency to represent you is a decision that you should take your time making. The majority of our doctors are introduced to us by a friend or colleague who is already working with us – we think that speaks pretty loudly for the quality of our service!

We keep in touch with you

We are a small agency and we can be easily reached by phone or email whenever you need us. You'll get to know your consultant and you can expect to have a great relationship with them. We like to catch up with our doctors in person as often as possible too.​

We know what we are doing

We've listened to feedback from hundreds of doctors and other industry professionals over the years. We've used these insights to refine our systems and deliver you our specific style of service, so you can trust that our methods are tried and tested.

We give you straight answers

If you ask us a question, you can expect an honest answer. If we don't know the answer, we will go and find it out for you. We want you to arrive at your first shift armed with the information you need and all of the finer details well and truly taken care of by us.

We really do care about you

We love working in this industry and playing a part in developing your career. You are not just a number at Doctors On The Fly, you are an integral part of our business. Our doctors become like a part of the family; we are with you for as long as you need us.
