About Max Drakeley

I’m Max Drakeley - Prescript's Senior Recruitment Partner for locum and permanent Specialist Doctor positions across Australia. My genuine interest, passion, and knowledge within the hospital and healthcare industry means I am able to provide a highly tailored service to doctors and health services.

I focus on listening to and understanding the needs of everyone I work with. This allows me to place doctors in positions that perfectly suit their requirements, and provide health services with well-informed and competent doctors, so they can operate at a higher capacity and under less stress.

When not providing solutions to doctors and communities Australia-wide, I love to cook, travel, and spend time with my dog, Monty, and my partner at my home on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria. I’m a science nerd at heart and spend my spare time as an editor and author for a cutting-edge Biology magazine for year-12 and undergraduate students.
