PRS - Filling Critical Health Service Positions

Prescript Recruitment's mission is to help regional hospitals and practices across Australia find doctors for their permanent and fixed-term positions.

Prescript’s Retained Solution (PRS) is our headhunting service for critical, time-sensitive, niche skill-set or multiple-hire roles. PRS is a robust search methodology supported by creative advertising and promotion.

We love to spotlight a regional town or city and help doctors imagine a new life there without compromising career growth.

As well as the targeted executive-style search, our recruitment specialists are supported by Prescript's marketing partner to ensure each vacancy reaches a wide audience.

At Prescript we’re known for helping solve the regional doctor shortage in Australia.

Every day we’re focused on two clear outcomes - Helping hospitals find doctors that create departments and clinics that run better, have more capacity and less stress. And placing Doctors in jobs that leave them feeling highly valued, rewarded and, most importantly, enjoying what they do.

We believe that when we get these two crucial things right, it has a huge impact on the regional doctor shortage and the healthcare of communities across Australia.
