Healthcare Australia supports healthcare workers throughout the permanent recruitment process by providing tailored guidance from experienced Recruitment Consultants. This includes resume advice, interview preparation, employer matching, contract support and ongoing check-ins before and after placement. Our team helps you navigate offers with confidence, understand role expectations and transition smoothly into your new position, ensuring long-term fit and career progression.

HCA is the largest health services provider in Australia.  We recruit and place healthcare specialists in permanent placements across nursing, allied health, aged care, mental health and community sectors. Our consultants match candidates with roles that reflect their experience, aspirations and preferred work environments.

Agencies assess qualifications, registration requirements, compliance documents, reference checks and cultural fit. HCA uses a values driven process to ensure safe, ethical and sustainable placements for both employers and candidates.

HCA recruits nationally and provides support for metro, regional and remote healthcare facilities. We offer relocation assistance for candidates and tailored sourcing solutions to help regional employers secure long-term staff.

Visa sponsorship for permanent roles is offered by approved employers rather than recruitment agencies themselves. While Healthcare Australia does not directly provide visa sponsorship, our permanent recruitment team supports international candidates by assessing experience, qualifications and registration status. Where suitable, we may connect candidates with hospitals or healthcare organisations that offer sponsorship opportunities and help guide them through compliance requirements and next steps for working in Australia.

Permanent recruitment provides long-term roles with consistent hours, entitlements and professional development. Temporary or agency recruitment offers flexibility and lifestyle choice. HCA supports both pathways depending on individual goals.

For healthcare professionals looking for a new opportunity, using a permanent recruitment agency comes at no cost. Healthcare Australia is engaged by employers to support their hiring needs, meaning candidates do not pay recruitment fees. Our role is to match you with suitable permanent opportunities, provide guidance throughout the process, and support you through interviews, offers and onboarding without any financial obligation on your side.

The timeframe for permanent healthcare recruitment can vary depending on role availability, location, employer requirements and individual circumstances. In many cases, placements can progress within a few weeks, while more specialised or regional roles may take longer. Healthcare Australia works closely with both candidates and employers to keep the process moving efficiently, providing clear communication and support at each stage to help reduce delays.

HCA partners with a wide range of providers nationwide, including public and private hospitals, aged care organisations, community health services and specialist clinics, to fill key management and senior operational roles. This gives healthcare professionals access to opportunities that may not be advertised publicly, including executive‑level positions in metropolitan, regional and remote locations.
HCA’s permanent recruitment team works closely with candidates to understand their leadership experience, management aspirations, preferred settings and long‑term career goals. Our consultants provide guidance on role suitability, help refine your CV to highlight leadership capability, and prepare you for interviews with employers across hospitals, aged care, community services and multidisciplinary healthcare organisations.
