The best locum doctors rarely come from job boards. They come from referrals. A colleague in the department. A registrar you worked nights with. A GP friend who keeps talking about wanting more flexibility. At Blugibbon, most of the doctors we work with were introduced to us by another doctor. And that makes sense. Medicine is a small world. Doctors trust other doctors. So when a friend says, "You should speak to these guys. They actually look after you." People listen. That is exactly why our doctor referral programme exists. Because great doctors know great doctors.

A recruiter asking “Are you looking for work?” before they have even learned your name. That is not us. If you are attending the RANZCP Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) in Melbourne in May 2026 , there is one thing you should know. Blugibbon is the official provider of caffeine . ā˜• And that is completely intentional.
