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.
