Dr Oncall is a locum doctor agency placing medical professionals across Australia with 24/7 availability and established relationships spanning public and private hospitals nationwide.

  • Founded in 2007 by three practising medical specialists – a radiologist, emergency physician, and anaesthetist – who recognised gaps in existing locum services and built the agency around genuine understanding of hospital needs and physician perspectives.
  • Offers flexible locum placements ranging from urgent single-shift coverage to planned roles up to 12 months in duration, supporting workforce flexibility for both hospitals and doctors.
  • Provides nationwide coverage across Australia’s public and private hospital sectors, pre-medical screening clinics, and indoor and outdoor sporting events, with 24/7 availability for placement coordination.
