Maximise Your Locum Jobs Experience

“I finished my advanced training in Orthopaedic Surgery with the NZOA and RACS in 2014 and was fortunate enough to have some very prestigious fellowships organised for 2015 to 2018. The first was at the highly reputable Department of Orthopaedics at the University of Bern Hospital, Bern, Switzerland – a phenomenal fellowship in terms of surgical experience and a once in a lifetime opportunity to live and work in Switzerland for one year.

But this fellowship was unfunded and Switzerland happens to be one of (if not) the most expensive countries in Europe. Therefore, for the first time in my career, I explored locuming. One of my friends referred me to his agent Irene Fussel at STAT Recruitment.

Right from the outset, Irene was an absolute pleasure to deal with. She is reliable, honest, highly motivated and a conscientious individual with an engaging yet unassuming personality.The entire team at STAT Recruitment were simply phenomenal and made my locum experience effortless and memorable. I was impressed by their dedication, organisation and professionalism.

I have no hesitation in recommending STAT Recruitment to anyone considering locuming or locuming more often. They have my trust and I will continue to work with them over the next few financially challenging years whilst on Fellowship training.”

I first started locum work in October 2016. I had work with another agency then.

I had one free day to pick up locum work after joining STAT Recruitment (formerly AUSSTAT) which has since resulted in me working as a full-time locum with them.

STAT Recruitment make it easy for me as they take care of everything from job to travel and so much more, and doing locums with them gives me a high level of flexibility to care for my family and study for my exams. If you are looking for someone to really look after you – these guys are the best!

I ceased full time radiology in December 2016, by which time I had been working full time for around 35 years in suburban radiology and public hospital work .

I was then recommended to contact STAT Recruitment (formerly AUSSTAT) by a friend who did locum work for them. I was very unsure about this new change , however it all went well. The friendly staff guided me through all the documentation (and there is a lot even for Australians in Australia)! They were most helpful and I had a great locum in around 6 weeks. I was provided with a number of locum options, both at home and inter-state, and they handled all accommodation, flights, hire cars and any extra costs or negotiations with employers . Since I joined the STAT Recruitment Team I have received a lot of help and great jobs with them. In addition, they also allayed any of my wife’s concerns, as she usually comes with me.

I receive support when at work and also, when notifying me of new jobs; I like to deal with the one Consultant, who knows what I like and our expectations. I am paid promptly by STAT Recruitment directly, and have had no issues they have not been able to fix quickly.

I would highly recommend them and since starting I have worked around 1-2 week blocks at facilities where I have enjoyed working, and have been pleased to work again.
