Edwards and Co Recruitment specialises in rapid mobilisation and workforce solutions Australia-wide.
We place consultant psychiatrists, registrars and mental health clinicians in locum, contract and permanent opportunities across public hospitals, private practice, telehealth, and rural and remote services. Speed is what we’re known for: during COVID-19 we stood up testing clinics across three states within days, and we were the agency of choice to run the national Urgent Care Centre pilot.
We bring the same urgency and care to psychiatry, taking the time to understand what each psychiatrist wants and matching them with services where they can do their best work. We’re healthcare recruitment, we just don’t act like it. #MAKEYOURMOVE
Founded in 2018 by Shannon Edwards, who brings 15 years of experience in the healthcare sector, Edwards and Co Recruitment started as a specialist agency and has grown into a national workforce partner across aged care, general practice, mental health, allied health, medical imaging, Indigenous health, hospitals, and rural and remote services.
During COVID-19 we were on the front line, mobilising doctors and nurses to pop-up testing clinics across three states, and we were later chosen to manage the national Urgent Care Centre pilot program, a workforce we continue to support today. Building on that experience, we’ve expanded our mental health division to give psychiatrists and the services that need them a recruitment partner that is fast, personal and deeply connected to the sector.
Working with Edwards and Co Recruitment means one point of contact from start to finish. As a boutique agency, we take a one-chef-in-the-kitchen approach: a single dedicated consultant gets to know you, manages every detail and stays with you for the whole journey. You won’t be passed between departments or have to repeat yourself. Because of our exclusive, long-standing arrangements with clients, we can also open doors to organisations and roles that are never advertised publicly. We offer:
One dedicated consultant who knows you, your preferences and your goals
Access to unadvertised locum, contract and permanent roles across public, private, telehealth, and rural and remote services
Flexible work that fits your life, from short-term cover to long-term placements
Competitive rates, negotiated on your behalf
Credentialing, travel and accommodation handled for you
Fast placements, backed by our 24/7 support line
