Indigenous Primary Health Recruitment
Trusted by Australia and New Zealand’s hospitals and healthcare organisations
Indigenous Primary Health Recruitment Australia-wide
Australia is facing a growing shortage of doctors in Indigenous Primary Health, especially in regional and remote communities where culturally safe, consistent care is vital. These roles are about more than clinical coverage, they’re about building trust, supporting community-led care, and making a real impact on long-term health outcomes.
At DNA Healthcare, we connect skilled doctors with meaningful placements in Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOs), remote clinics, regional medical services and outreach teams. Every placement is an opportunity to contribute to health equity, strengthen community trust and deliver care that truly matters.
Why DNA for Indigenous Primary Health Recruitment?
We take a purposeful, community-first approach to Indigenous Primary Health recruitment. Every doctor is screened not just on paper, but on mindset, motivation, and cultural readiness. We ask the important questions early and we don’t pitch roles unless we’ve taken the time to understand the clinic, the community and the kind of doctor who will thrive there.
We don’t flood clients with options, we back our process and recommend only the doctors we truly believe in. With hundreds of successful placements across every state and territory, DNA Healthcare is trusted by doctors and communities alike to get it right.

Health Services: How We Help You
We partner with Aboriginal Medical Services and Indigenous-led clinics through a community-first recruitment process that starts with listening. Our initial consult goes beyond job specs, taking the time to understand your clinic, team dynamics and community expectations, because every service is different and deserves a tailored approach.
We rigorously screen doctors for cultural readiness and motivation, putting forward only those we trust to deliver consistent, culturally safe care. From short-term locum cover to long-term workforce planning, we stay involved through every stage, checking in, adapting, and helping you build a sustainable model of care that supports trust, continuity, and stronger health outcomes.
Doctors: How We Support You
Working in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander healthcare is complex, challenging, and deeply rewarding. It’s about more than medicine, it’s about trust, connection and delivering care that truly matters. The scope is broad, the relationships are real and the impact extends well beyond the clinic walls.
For doctors ready to step into this work, DNA Healthcare provides the clarity, preparation, and support you need to succeed. We offer honest insights into the realities of each placement (from clinic culture to community expectations) and make sure you're equipped with the right context, not just a job title and a start date. We stay involved throughout your placement and beyond, ensuring you feel supported, especially when challenges arise.
Whether you're looking to reconnect with purpose, broaden your clinical experience, or contribute to long-term health equity, we’ll help you find a role that aligns with your motivations and values. At DNA, we don’t just place doctors, we partner with you to make sure the work is both sustainable and deeply rewarding.
DNA Healthcare success stories
We’ve had the pleasure of placing thousands of healthcare professionals at hospitals and organisations across Australia. Hear about their experience with DNA Healthcare.
Beverley Anne from DNA Medical Recruitment was a pleasure to deal with. Honest, efficient and professional at all times.
Beverley is the best agent for me – she responds efficiently, goes above and beyond in finding me the most suitable shifts, checks up on me to make sure I’m okay almost daily and you can tell she genuinely wants the best for you. Thank you so much, Beverley, for making everything so smooth for me!
I couldn’t recommend Bev the team at DNA Recruitment more highly.
Having been away from hospital practice for 2 years, I was a little nervous stepping back into acute medicine. The team were very understanding and supportive and found a well-paid locum job in a very welcoming team in a Regional Hospital. There was always good communication, arranging all the paperwork and constantly checking in to see how the job was going, and the accounts team were very happy to work with my requests to enable sacrifice of pay to increase Super contribution.
A great experience. I would recommend to any who are looking to engage in locum practice to contact DNA Recruit.
Bev was recommended to me by another doctor, and I can see why. From our very first contact, she has been warm, encouraging, and extremely helpful. I’ve had some difficult personal circumstances, which I was afraid would affect my ability to work. Bev has gone above and beyond to find me work, and been incredibly supportive throughout the process.
I’ve worked with several locum agencies in the past, and most of them just do the bare minimum (which I don’t begrudge). But Bev has been an absolute joy to have as my agent, and I’ve already referred another colleague to her. Even Veronika in payroll has been very helpful, friendly, and accommodating. I haven’t worked with anyone else in DNA Recruit, but so far I have only good things to say about them.
Thank you Bey you’re adorable. I’m sure you appreciate how competitive the recruitment market is and it’s no secret i have dealt with several agencies (who often advertise the same opportunities) – but one by one shed them in favour of you because in addition to being so damn professional you have a genuine bedside manner which helps to make the tedious process of organising things trip after trip that bit easier – a fact which has not gone unnoticed, and I am grateful for.
Thank you Bev, you are amazing! I am impressed with how quickly you managed and sort things out! Thanks for advocating for me.
DNA Medical Recruitment provide a warm, caring service to Doctors, and they are an absolute pleasure to deal with. Bev is my consultant, and I could not ask any more of her. She is always ready to help, nothing is an issue and she bends over backwards to ensure that I am moving to a position that suits me. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending DNA to any of our colleagues, whether it be nursing or medical. Thank you Bev for all that you do.
I have worked with David over the last year and he is professional, reliable and always keeps me up to date with work matters. David also responds to emails and phone calls promptly which assists me with managing my work schedules. There were occasions in which David had to chase the primary employer for clarification few hours be for my shift, and David has come through with the necessary clarification. I would highly recommend David’s leadership and honesty when it comes to managing your locum placement.
