DNA Healthcare success stories
We’ve had the pleasure of placing thousands of healthcare professionals at hospitals and organisations across Australia. Hear about their experience with DNA Healthcare.
I am a GP and rural generalist, and DNA Medical Recruitment is my locum agency. With them I have never felt like an asset, but rather as member of a team helping to provide rural health services where it is needed. At the same time I am seen as an individual with my own needs and requirements, and respected as such. Eamon as my personal contact and recruiter and is professional, reliable and friendly. He has a thorough understanding of the field and is always up to date.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Eamon as my medical recruit officer, and I must say that my experience was exceptional. From the moment I reached out for assistance, Eamon demonstrated a high level of professionalism and dedication.

Eamon’s knowledge and expertise in the medical field were evident throughout our interactions. He took the time to thoroughly understand my needs and provided valuable guidance, ensuring that I was well-prepared for the recruitment process.

Can’t speak highly enough for this agency. They gave me the opportunity to work in WA after weeks of waiting for a job from WA pool and applications for RN jobs.
