Criticare places locum doctors in hospitals nationwide, and the person in the middle is a clinician, not an administrator. Our core is anaesthetics, emergency and ICU, but we coordinate work in any specialty. You work the shift, we sort the contract and invoicing, and you keep more of the rate that would usually go to another locum company.
Register interest Hospital enquiriesWe started Criticare because agency margins were eating into the rates hospitals were already paying, and the people negotiating them had never worked a shift. The fix was to run the agency ourselves.
Every rate, contract and roster question is answered by a doctor who works the same floors. You talk to a colleague, not a recruiter.
If you line up a shift yourself, you keep the coordinating share. Criticare handles the paperwork.
Our cut is smaller than the major agencies charge for the same shift, so more of the hospital rate ends up with you.
Electronic timesheet after the shift, payment within days of submission. We hold the hospital contract and invoice on your behalf.
For regional and rural work we negotiate travel reimbursement and accommodation as part of the booking, not as an afterthought.
We keep your CV, registration, indemnity and references on file so a new site is a quick turnaround, not a fresh pile of forms.
Four steps. No portals, no onboarding weeks.
Send us an email with your name and specialty. We'll get in touch to talk through what you're after.
We match you to hospital requests, or you bring a shift and we contract it.
We collect your CV, registration, indemnity and references once and keep them current.
Submit an electronic timesheet after the shift. You're paid within days of submission.
Criticare supplies anaesthetics, emergency and ICU doctors to public and private hospitals across Australia, and coordinates cover in any other specialty on request. Med admin deals with a doctor, not an account manager.
One address for both. Tell us who you are and what you need and one of the team will reply.
