Having trouble hiring GPs? Here’s why

Job ads for doctors have bounced back to pre-pandemic levels, but applications are down: report

Fresh data on job advertisements for doctors may help explain why some general practices are struggling to recruit staff, with more vacancies now than pre-pandemic times. 

Advertisements for healthcare roles have surged in the past year partly because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

But the number of applicants for each job has plummeted, according to a report by the online jobs portal SEEK. 

Overall, healthcare recruitment ads grew by 42% in the year to February 2021.
