Three ways we solve the same problem

  • Permanent recruitment and search

    Ongoing vacancies / Workforce growth / Leadership appointments / Hard-to-fill clinical roles

    We partner with health services to attract and secure permanent staff across clinical, leadership and support functions. Targeted search, national talent networks and proactive candidate engagement build workforces that stay.

  • Contingent workforce

    Immediate coverage / Rural and remote / Leave coverage / Service continuity

    When a gap opens, access to qualified clinicians is critical. Our locum and contingent placements keep services running through leave, vacancy and surges in demand, without disrupting continuity of care.

  • Fixed-term contract staffing

    Funded programs / Workforce initiatives / Maternity leave / Service expansion

    Many community health services need skilled professionals for roles tied to funding cycles or service delivery projects. We recruit into contracts from several months to several years, without compromising quality.

Hire healthcare staff

A national footprint, weighted to the places that struggle to fill roles

Nearly half of everything we place is regional. From Broome to Bunbury, Mount Isa to Mildura, we recruit into the health services that sit a long way from a capital city, and into the tertiary hospitals in every state.

What clinicians and health services say

5.0

Rated 5.0 from 23 client reviews

The rating is Alor Group's client rating. The words below are from clinicians and health services Alor has placed, shared with their permission.

  • Bethany is the first agent I have come across who gets stuff done. Within a very short space of time she had lined up a meeting with a prospective employer and got back to me with an interview time. Other agents told me they would look into it, but never got back to me. I really felt like I was in good hands.
    Kerry, Sonographer QLD · placed by Bethany Clemence
  • Louis and Alor Group have been an absolute pleasure to work with. They have made what could have been a daunting process feel straightforward and manageable. It is clear that they genuinely care about the people they work with and take pride in achieving positive outcomes.
    Catherine, Registered Nurse, Palliative and Community SA · placed by Louis Watts
  • Chase was extremely helpful in matching me with companies which suited my preferences and skills, and helped me to secure a role in a short time. 10 out of 10 service, highly recommend.
    Isabel, Occupational Therapist NSW · placed by Chase Riley
  • When Matthew first made contact, the roles offered were not a match for what I was looking for. He listened carefully to what would work well for me, linked promptly with his network of potential employers and shared an opportunity that appeared to be a great match.
    Kylie, Senior Speech Pathologist VIC · placed by Matthew Cunningham
  • I would highly recommend Alor if you are thinking of relocating to Australia as a healthcare professional. It has not been a straightforward process but Louis has always been there for further advice and support and we finally got there. Looking forward to starting my new job and life in Australia.
    Clare, Registered Nurse, Community SA · placed by Louis Watts
  • We have worked with Chase across two placements and have been really happy with the experience. The candidates presented were well suited to our needs. It is not always easy finding quality sonography staff, so having a reliable recruitment contact makes a real difference.
    Clinical Operations Manager, Chief Sonographer NSW · placed by Chase Riley
  • Alor made my recruitment process so easy every step of the way, from understanding my goals to communicating with my employer. I have successfully gained a position I had dreamed of with their help.
    Liz, Registered Nurse, Recovery NSW · placed by Louis Watts
  • Thank you for helping me find a good regional workplace and sponsorship. You helped me out a lot with sorting everything out and always promptly communicated updates. I am very grateful.
