When it comes to negotiating contracts with medical centres, there’s usually not a huge amount of wiggle room.

Most practices already have existing doctors on set terms so to keep things fair, new GPs generally need to fit within that structure. Otherwise, you risk creating inequality in the team, which quickly turns a recruitment problem into a retention problem.

That said, there can be room for flexibility if you're willing to take on things that others might not. After-hours work, weekends, supervising international doctors or registrars… these are areas where practices are more likely to offer better service fees or extra incentives.

If you’ve ever successfully negotiated something unique in your contract, I’d love to hear what it was.👇

Let’s talk about long-term contracts because they can make doctors nervous.

When I’m chatting with GPs early in the process, one of the biggest concerns is committing to a multi-year contract. The usual thought is: “What if it doesn’t work out?”

Totally fair question.

But what I always point to is the exit clause. If a practice offers a 2, 3, or even 4-year contract but includes a 30-day opt-out, that changes everything.

It’s not really about the length, it’s about flexibility. Personally, I’d be just as comfortable signing a 4-year contract as a 1-year one, as long as I knew I had that option to leave if things didn’t feel right.

Have you ever turned down a contract because of the commitment? Curious to hear how you handled it. 👇

Ever thought about what not hiring a GP is really costing your clinic?

I chat to a lot of practices that only start to feel the pressure when it’s too late, burnt-out teams, unfilled appointments, empty consulting rooms. But there’s also the financial hit that quietly adds up.

If a GP brings in $10k a week, and you're on a 30% service fee model, that’s $3,000 a week just walking out the door. Over a year? That’s nearly $150k.

It’s easy to put off recruitment, but the cost of waiting can be far greater.

Clear communication = better outcomes 🗣️

One thing I’ve learnt? The most successful placements happen when both the practice and the doctor are upfront from day one about their expectations, availability, and what they’re looking for.

When there’s alignment early, you avoid surprises later. No one wants to get halfway through the recruitment process only to realise it’s not the right fit.

Clear, early conversations save time and lead to stronger, longer-lasting working relationships.

What’s one thing you wish you’d clarified earlier in a recruitment process?

If you’re serious about attracting quality GPs, speed matters. ⏱️

I’ve seen great candidates slip away simply because a practice didn’t have their recruitment process sorted slow responses, unclear approval chains, too many delays. And in a tight market, that can be all it takes for a GP to move on.

That’s why it’s crucial to have your stakeholders lined up and your process ready to go before a GP even shows interest. It shows you’re prepared, professional, and genuinely keen.

Thinking about signing a GP contract? Don’t skip the fine print. 📝

From service fee percentages to exit clauses, knowing what’s “standard” can make all the difference when you're entering (or leaving) a practice.

While I’m not a contract lawyer, I regularly support GPs with insights on what’s typical in the industry so you can walk into negotiations with confidence, not confusion.

In today’s competitive healthcare landscape, simply having a vacancy isn’t enough. GP candidates are in demand, and it’s crucial for practices to go beyond the basics. That means understanding what truly motivates a GP; whether it's flexibility, clinical autonomy, patient mix, or community impact, and aligning your offering accordingly.

Two clinics might look the same on paper, but the one that wins the GP is the one that clearly communicates how they’ll support and empower the doctor to thrive. Recruitment is a two-way street, and the practice that can effectively “sell” its environment, values, and culture is the one that attracts top talent.

If you’re hiring, ask yourself: are you showcasing your practice in a way that makes GPs want to choose you?

As a GP recruitment specialist, my role goes far beyond matching resumes to jobs. It’s about deeply understanding what both the GP and the medical centre are truly looking for, and finding that alignment.

For practices, this means being properly briefed on what motivates each candidate. I guide centres on how to tailor the interview conversation, highlight the most relevant aspects of their opportunity, and ultimately increase their chances of securing a long-term, committed GP. Because when values align, great partnerships happen.

In the world of GP recruitment, trust is everything. Most of the placements I make come through word of mouth, referrals from GPs who’ve had a great experience working with me, or from practices that recommend me to their networks. That doesn’t happen by accident.

It comes from consistently delivering value, being transparent, and genuinely caring about long-term outcomes for both doctors and clinics. Your name is your currency in this industry, once that’s gone, everything else falls apart. I’ve built my reputation one placement, one relationship at a time, and I work hard every day to protect and grow it.

If you're looking for a partner who’s trusted by both GPs and practices alike, I’d love to chat.

One of the biggest things my candidates often mention? How available I am. I work across time zones, from Australia to the UK, Saudi Arabia, and beyond, because I know how crucial it is to be there when you need support most.

Whether it's early mornings, late nights, or weekends, I make myself available to suit your schedule, not the other way around. It’s not about setting boundaries for convenience; it’s about delivering real service when it matters. If you're navigating a career move, the last thing you need is to wait days for answers. I get back to you fast, simple as that.

If you value quick, clear communication and a partner who works on your time, let’s talk.

When practices interview GPs, it's not just about qualifications; they’re thinking long-term fit. The top priority? Cultural alignment. Will this GP connect well with the team, blend with the clinic's dynamic, and engage meaningfully with the local patient community?

Timing also matters. Practices want to know when you're realistically available; short, medium, or long term, so they can plan accordingly. They’re also considering how your special interests and clinical strengths complement their current team, and whether you’re likely to build a loyal patient base over time.

If you’re preparing for interviews, focus on more than just your CV. Think about how you present your availability, your people skills, and how you’ll add value to the existing practice culture. That’s what helps you stand out. 👨‍⚕️👩‍⚕️

Making the move to Australia as a GP can feel overwhelming, and I get that, it’s a big step with lots of paperwork and hurdles to jump through. That’s why I’m passionate about supporting doctors like Dr. Jo McKerrel and her family every step of the way.

Jo told me how much easier the process felt with my help, saying, “Brett was incredible, he really cares about us and made everything so much smoother.” Having worked with other recruiters before, she said my hands-on approach made all the difference.

If you’re thinking about relocating, I’m here to make the journey as simple and stress-free as possible, so you can focus on what really matters, starting your new chapter with confidence.
