How to Maximise Your Earnings as a Locum Doctor with Medlo's Commission Sharing
2025-01-24
Locum doctors often rely on traditional recruitment agencies that send out weekly shift updates, leaving them with little control over their schedules and earnings. But what if you could choose your own shifts, get paid faster, and keep more of what you earn?
Medlo is revolutionising locum recruitment in Australia with an industry-first Commission Sharing Initiative, designed to put more money in doctors’ pockets and bring total transparency to shift bookings. By taking charge of your own locum work, you not only gain more freedom but also earn a bigger slice of the pie—without the inefficiencies of traditional agencies.
What is Medlo's Commission Sharing Initiative?
Medlo’s Commission Sharing Initiative is a game-changer for locum doctors. We share up to 30% of our commission with doctors who book their own shifts—something no other medical recruitment agency in Australia (or the world) offers.
How It Works
1. Returning to a Hospital You Enjoy
✅ If you’ve worked at a hospital before and want to return, simply organise your shifts directly with the hospital.
✅ The hospital just needs to email Medlo to confirm your booking.
✅ Since you secured the shift yourself, you qualify for up to 30% commission sharing.
2. Securing a Shift That’s Not Listed on Medlo
✅ If a hospital contacts you directly for a shift that isn’t listed on Medlo, and you confirm it yourself, you qualify.
✅ Forward the confirmation to Medlo, and we’ll process your bonus.
What Doesn't Count?
❌ If Medlo arranges the shift for you, it does not qualify for commission sharing.
❌ If a doctor expresses interest in a listed Medlo shift and we handle hospital communications, it does not count.
✅ Only shifts that you personally organise and bring to Medlo qualify for the commission-sharing bonus.
How Much More Can You Earn? Let’s Do the Math
To put things into perspective, let’s break down how much you could earn through Medlo’s commission sharing. Here’s an example calculation based on typical locum rates and recruitment fees:
Doctor Level | Standard Hourly Rate | Hourly Rate with Commission Sharing | Extra Earnings per 12.5hr x 7 day Block (Difference x 87.5hrs) | Yearly Additional Earnings (Working Every Second Week) |
---|---|---|---|---|
Resident (RMO) | $120 | $129 | $788 ($9 x 87.5hrs) | $20,488 (26 weeks) |
Registrar | $160 | $172 | $1,050 ($12 x 87.5hrs) | $27,300 (26 weeks) |
Consultant | $250 | $268 | $1,575 ($18 x 87.5hrs) | $40,950 (26 weeks) |
Annual Impact
By securing their own shifts, doctors can significantly increase their earnings. Here’s what that looks like:
- Resident (RMO): An extra $39,312 per year
- Registrar: An extra $52,416 per year
- Consultant: An extra $81,744 per year
This additional income can make a huge difference for locum doctors looking to maximise their earnings while maintaining control over their schedule.
