Our Story
Our Story
AU Locums Direct was established by healthcare professionals who understood the unique challenges of medical staffing in Western Australia, the Northern Territory, Victoria and Queensland. We saw hospitals going without cover, and doctors struggling to find the right locum opportunities. We built AU Locums Direct to bridge that gap — with deep local knowledge, established hospital relationships, and a commitment to fast, compliant placements.
Our focus is narrow by design. By specialising exclusively in WA, NT, VIC and QLD, we've built the kind of deep relationships and local knowledge that generalist agencies simply can't match. We know the hospitals, we know the regions, and we know what it takes to place doctors quickly and compliantly.
Why Choose Us
What Makes AU Locums Direct Different
WA, NT, VIC & QLD Specialists Only
We do not try to cover every state. By focusing exclusively on Western Australia, the Northern Territory, Victoria and Queensland, we have built the kind of deep hospital relationships and local knowledge that generalist agencies cannot replicate.
Full Compliance Management
AHPRA credentialing, hospital-specific compliance, police checks, working with children checks, and insurance verification — all managed by our team before your first shift. You focus on the medicine.
48-Hour Placement Guarantee
Most doctors registered with AU Locums Direct are matched and placed within 48 hours. FACEM and psychiatry placements at short notice have started in as little as 24 hours.
3,500+ Doctor Network
Our database of AHPRA-registered doctors spans every major specialty and seniority level. Hospitals get access to a deep, pre-credentialed talent pool — not a cold search.
Direct Hospital Relationships
We work directly with WA Health, NT Health, VIC Health and QLD Health, VIC Health and QLD Health — not through intermediaries. That means faster credentialing, better rate negotiation, and placements that actually happen.
24/7 Support
Healthcare does not stop at 5pm. Our consultants are available around the clock for urgent placements, on-call queries, and support throughout your placement — not just up to your start date.
