Wavelength's history
Dr John Bethell and Claire Ponsford founded Wavelength International with a vision to create a medical recruitment company that truly cares about its employees, who in turn would truly care about the service delivered to doctors and healthcare employers.
Almost 25 years later, Wavelength is an award-winning and industry-leading medical recruitment agency, having grown to a team of over 90, while staying true to the same ethos and passion as in those early days.
Our purpose
We believe our healthcare system will deliver more to patients if the people working in it are happy, healthy and in the right jobs.
At Wavelength, 'we help extraordinary people write their own stories' by guiding doctors towards the life and career they truly want.
What we do
Wherever you are and wherever you want to go next, we're there every step of the way. We create connections by understanding what makes every candidate and client unique.
Each year we connect over 3,500 doctors with a new role aligned with their goals and lifestyles. Each and every position we fill contributes to a successful career for a doctor and a stronger healthcare system overall.
We’re all-encompassing
We're helping more than ever before. Following our 2019 acquisition of a leading executive recruitment agency, the Ccentric Group, we now also support top managers, administrators and academics in the healthcare sector.
Our complete knowledge of the sector allows us to better serve all regions across Australia and New Zealand, including rural and remote communities, and those that are under-resourced or have special needs.
Our achievements
We’re proud to be making a difference in the lives of our doctors, and the communities they live and work in. We see first-hand the impact our services have in filling gaps in medical care.
Our Values
At the heart of every relationship, initiative and policy we create are four principles that underpin our success as medical recruiters.
Going Above & Beyond
No other medical recruiter invests the time and care we devote to doctors, clinics and hospitals.
Doing The Right Thing
We’ve built our success on a foundation of ethical and moral standards that have become synonymous with the Wavelength brand.
Making It Happen
We welcome and embrace advancements in technology, policy and academia.
Making A Positive Impact
We never lose sight of the ultimate goal of the industry we love: improving the health of every Australasian community.
Contributing to the health of our communities
We're driven by our desire to effect meaningful change to community health, but we don't do it alone. We're partnered with charities and educators worldwide who share our vision of improved healthcare quality. We actively donate and fundraise for:
