MediRecruit Launches Fixed Fee Locum Service for Allied Health Professionals

Fixed Daily Rate Offers Cost Transparency and Simpler Staffing Solutions

MediRecruit is proud to introduce its new Fixed Fee Locum Service, a simple and transparent daily rate model designed specifically for allied health clinics and healthcare providers across Australia. This innovative service replaces traditional percentage-based recruitment fees with a single, upfront cost, providing organisations with predictable, budget-friendly staffing solutions.

Whether you’re looking for Physiotherapists, Podiatrists, Occupational Therapists, Speech Pathologists, Exercise Physiologists or professionals in other allied health disciplines, this new model ensures greater cost certainty and efficiency.

“We know that short-term staffing needs can come up quickly, and clinics need a fast, reliable solution that doesn’t break the budget,” said Clare Jones, Director at MediRecruit. “This fixed fee model simplifies the process and removes uncertainty, so clients know exactly what they’re paying for.”

The new model is designed to:

  • Replace commission-based fees with a transparent daily rate
  • Allow easier budgeting for short-term and temporary roles
  • Streamline the hiring process, saving time and internal resources
  • Give employers access to a national network of experienced locum professionals

With nearly two decades of experience supporting both locum and permanent placements, MediRecruit understands the unique needs of the allied health workforce. This fixed fee model is another step in our mission to deliver smarter, more supportive recruitment solutions.
