Australia has experienced a shortage of health care workforce since the 1980’s, and the industry continues to grow.
The multi-faceted industry encompasses a broad range of specialities, making health care the largest employment sector in the country. Not only have there been steady increases in the need for healthcare professionals in every area for the past year, this growth is expected to increase significantly over the next few decades

Recruitment in healthcare has changed as well. With many long-term healthcare professionals retiring, younger generations are entering the market. Recruiting these younger, skilled individuals requires a different approach. You have to meet them where they are and where they are looking, which often means through technology. Being able to get their attention and create an easy, intuitive application process is important.
Because we understand the needs of the market and the candidates, we are able to develop strategies that help connect the right professionals to the right organisation. Let us do all the work to find you the ideal candidates.
Allied Health is the second largest healthcare sector in Australia, and it is also projecting a significant increase in the need for an expanding workforce starting with the addition of 43,000 positions in the next year.
The need for nurses is also expected to grow to meet the demand of the ageing population. Those who are in areas of specialty such as mental health and home health care are already difficult to find. The challenge in recruiting the talent is that new graduates lack the experience and the level of specialty to replace nurses leaving the workforce.
