We’ve helped fill Paediatric roles across Australasia

  • "I have worked with Wavelength for the last 4 years or so. They have provided a sympathetic ear when there has been any sort of problem and done what they could to solve it. While in Sydney once, my wife and I called into the Wavelength office and met some of the team, finding them as amiable and welcoming as they are over the phone. The coffee there was certainly better than International Roast, thank heavens!"

  • "Wavelength is one of the most innovative and accommodating companies I came across. Their service is prompt and reliable. They know how to respond to individual needs. The customer's interest is their core business - a very refreshing and modern experience around a usually very encrusted and inflexible public health administration system."
