Dr Imran
Surgical Registrar -
"I’ve used a few agencies but Wavelength has been by far the best which is why I now trust them to exclusively handle all of my locum placements. They have been terrific to work with, being proactive in contacting me about opportunities, optimising my contracts and following up on how the job is going.
I’ve enjoyed the flexibility of the locum life in terms of being able to make choices about location, keeping things interesting by doing a variety of jobs and not being tied down to a long-term and rigid roster."Dr Kah Kit
Medical Registrar -
"Wavelength was able to secure the jobs I wanted before they were advertised - their networks are extensive. I have gained more general surgical experience working with Wavelength as a Locum Doctor than I would have had if I just stayed in my full-time role. Learning from different consultants, theatre exposure and working across rural & regional hospitals has helped make me a better Doctor."

In most rural and remote areas, our clients will provide both travel and accommodation for their locum doctors. However, if you are bringing your family with you, you may need to provide travel for them. Accommodation for additional family members may be available, but this is not always the case.

We understand that the credentialing process can be daunting, especially if you're new to locum work. That's why we have a dedicated Recruitment Coordinator who can guide you through the process step-by-step.

What if I need to cancel my locum?
Unexpected events can happen, so we understand that you may sometimes need to cancel a locum assignment. If you find yourself in this situation, please let your recruitment consultant know as soon as possible.
This will allow us to work with the hospital to find a replacement locum doctor and ensure that patient care is not disrupted. It will also help you to maintain a good relationship with the hospital for future locum opportunities.
What paperwork will I have to handle?
We understand that the credentialing process can be daunting, especially if you're new to locum work. That's why we have a dedicated Recruitment Coordinator who can guide you through the process step-by-step.
We have also worked to streamline the credentialing process and move to a paperless system, which makes it easier and more convenient for our locum doctors.
