DPA GP RECRUITMENT

GP RECRUITMENT FOR DPA LOCATIONS

Recruiting General Practitioners for Practices in Distribution Priority Areas (DPA)
Doctoru recruits General Practitioners (GPs) for practices situated in Distribution Priority Areas (DPA), previously known as Districts of Workforce Shortage (DWS). If you find yourself in a DPA location, the process of recruiting GPs may become notably easier.
For GPs who are seeking positions in DPA areas, we invite you to explore the available DPA jobs listed on our platform. Additionally, you can find more information about DPA Australia and the exemptions associated with 19AB.
If you are a practice owner or manager in a DPA area, you may benefit from an increased ease in recruiting GPs whose primary medical degree was obtained overseas. This is particularly important because overseas GPs require a 19AB exemption to acquire a Medicare provider number, and working in a DPA meets the criteria for a suitable exemption.
Recruiting GPs in DPA areas can be significantly simplified, especially if you are interested in working with GPs from the United Kingdom, Ireland, or New Zealand. Doctoru can assist you in selecting overseas GPs who can work without undergoing exams and do not require supervision. These GPs possess vocational registration in Australia.
If you are unsure whether your current location falls under DPA status, our team can provide you with up-to-date information. Feel free to get in touch with us for further clarification on the DPA eligibility of your area.
If your practice is not situated in a DPA, we encourage you to contact us for a discussion regarding alternative recruitment options. We are here to assist you in finding the most suitable solution for your GP recruitment needs.

HOW I CAN HELP

DPA Location: Finding Well-Qualified GPs

For practices currently situated in a DPA location, we pride ourselves on having a diverse pool of well-qualified GPs who are vocationally registered and actively seeking positions. Our extensive network and expertise enable us to connect you with the right candidates that align with your practice's requirements.
We understand that finding the perfect fit may take time. On average, the recruitment process can take anywhere between 6 to 12 months. Therefore, it is crucial to plan ahead by considering your recruitment needs several months in advance. This deliberate approach allows us to conduct a comprehensive search and identify candidates who meet your expectations and preferences.

Non-DPA Location: Exploring 19AB Exemptions

If your practice is not located in a DPA area, there are other exemptions available under section 19AB that can assist you in recruiting overseas doctors. Our knowledgeable team can provide valuable advice on these exemptions, helping you navigate the regulatory requirements and facilitating the process of recruiting international medical professionals who align with your practice's needs.
At Doctoru, our mission is to support practices in overcoming workforce challenges and ensuring efficient GP recruitment. Regardless of your DPA status or location, we possess the expertise and resources necessary to assist you in finding the right doctor for your practice.
