StatDoctor conducts the same checks that any locum agency does. This includes confirming your identity, checking your ahpra registration and getting references.
Who organises accommodation and travel for the locum doctor?
Once a locum doctor has been successfully accepted for a shift, the hospital and locum doctor will receive each other’s contact details. The hospital can then either request the locum doctor to organise their own travel and accommodation +/- reimbursement, or provide any necessary information and forward such to the locum doctor.
Will I have to pay for my travel and accomodation
Not ususally. Most hospitals, particuarly rural ones, will cover you for travel and accomodation expenses. This can be easily seen on the app.
