"My experience working with Ensure Health to help us find doctors to join our medical centre has been really positive. Having a doctor with the relevant qualifications, registration and interests in specific areas of general practice is often really difficult to find and we have found that Ensure Health not only understand the importance of this but have responded remarkably quickly in being able to find suitable doctors for us to interview whenever we have engaged them for help in recruitment."

Maher, Candidate
"Ensure Health has played a significant role in the recruitment of IPC Health’s new GP staff and have provided ongoing support and expertise. As a not-for-profit organisation within the community health sector, IPC Health experienced challenges around sourcing suitably qualified and experienced candidates with the passion for the sector and our client audience. Throughout the process, we were pleased with the level of responsiveness from the agency and particularly, the General Manager – Helena Murphy, who was very helpful in providing guidance and useful information regarding the overall application process for GPs. This is in turn gave us further confidence and knowledge about potential complications when recruiting GPs."
