What Actually Happens in Credentialing?

A look inside how we make onboarding faster, simpler, and more supported.

Credentialing often gets a bad rap. But at Prescript, we do things differently. No chasing forms. No endless back and forth. Just a clear, supported process that gets you ready for work—fast.

It’s Not a Black Hole—It’s a System

We hear this question all the time: “What actually happens in credentialing?”

For many doctors, credentialing feels like a slow, unclear process. At Prescript, we’ve rebuilt it from the ground up. It’s simple. Structured. And totally supported.

One System, Less Repetition

Thanks to our Prescript Quality Standards (PQS), once your documents are submitted, much of your info carries across placements.

• No re-uploading everything from scratch
• Your paperwork is stored and reused where possible
• We manage the admin, so you can focus on the work

You’ll Always Know What’s Next

You're never left guessing. From the moment we start credentialing, we’ll guide you through:

• Easy-to-use templates
• Deadline reminders
• Real-time updates and human support

Whether it’s your first placement or your fiftieth, we’re here to remove the friction.

Why It Matters

Faster onboarding means more time for what actually matters—whether that’s getting out to your placement, finishing a contract, or enjoying your days off in between.

We don’t just get you credentialed. We make the entire journey smoother, quicker, and more confident.

Meet the People Behind It

Credentialing at Prescript is personal. Our dedicated team is the reason doctors say working with us just feels easier.

• Mel Crane – Prescript’s 3IC and Head of Impact & Success
• Amy Cunard – Lead Medical Credentialing Specialist
• Jess Wells – Medical Credentialing Specialist
• Marie Suazo & Gen Cabrera – our documentation and admin powerhouses

Let’s Get You Ready

Credentialing shouldn’t slow you down. With Prescript, it won’t.

We’ll walk you through every step, keep the process simple, and make sure you’re good to go—ready for work that matters.

A Doctor for Odede: The Global Impact of Everyday Recruitment

When we say every placement counts, we mean it — not just in Australia’s hospitals and clinics, but in places like Odede, a small village in western Kenya where access to healthcare was once nearly impossible.

Through our giving partnership with B1G1, Prescript set out to provide a full year’s salary for a doctor at the Odede Community Health Centre — a lifeline for families living in extreme poverty near Lake Victoria. With your help, we achieved that goal.

Why Odede?

Odede faces some of the highest rates of HIV/AIDS in Kenya. Maternal mortality is high, and for many, the nearest health facility is over 30km away — a journey too far when time is critical. The community-run health centre provides safe births, vaccinations, HIV testing, and essential care to thousands.

For a community like this, a single doctor means everything. And over the past year, thanks to every doctor who worked with us, every hospital that partnered with Prescript, we were able to fund that position in full.

The Ripple Effect

But the impact didn’t stop there. Together we also helped fund:

• Over six months of nutritious meals for HIV-affected children
• Five months of hospital maintenance to keep the centre running smoothly
• One month of clean water for patients and their families

Every one of these contributions came from the everyday work of recruitment — from confirming a locum placement, to receiving a referral, to partnering with a regional health service that chose us to help find the right doctor.

What It Taught Us

Odede showed us that when you embed purpose into business, you don’t need grand gestures to make a difference. You just need commitment, consistency, and a community of people who care — like our Prescript team, our doctors, and the healthcare leaders we work with every day.

We’re proud of what we’ve achieved together. But we also know this is just the beginning.

One Million Days of Clean Water: How a Goal Became a Movement

At Prescript, we’ve always believed that recruitment should do more than solve hospital rosters — it should solve real-world problems.

That’s why, in 2020, we set ourselves an ambitious social impact goal: to provide one million days of clean water to communities in the Tigray region of Ethiopia.

We chose this goal for a simple reason. Clean water changes everything. It improves child survival rates, lifts the burden from women who spend hours collecting contaminated water, and gives girls the chance to stay in school. And through our partnership with B1G1 (Business for Good), we found a way to link every doctor placement, every referral, every successful search — to something much bigger.

How We Did It

Our approach was simple. We embedded giving into the rhythm of our business. Every time a doctor took a locum or permanent role through Prescript, we gave. When a doctor registered with us, referred a colleague, or completed a reference, we gave again. Every everyday action became a small act of global impact.

Even during the pandemic, and as civil conflict escalated in Tigray, we persisted — funding well repairs, restoring access, and staying connected to the communities we had committed to help. Along the way, we hit our one million day milestone, with clean water reaching thousands of families across dozens of villages.

Why It Matters Today

This isn’t just a milestone we’re proud of. It’s a legacy we’re building on. Being a medical recruitment agency means we’re already in the business of improving lives. But with this goal, we proved that placing a doctor in regional Australia can change lives on another continent, too.

As you read this, new wells are still being dug. Damaged infrastructure is being repaired. And most importantly, families in some of the world’s most vulnerable communities are healthier, safer, and more hopeful — all because of the doctors, hospitals, and team members who work with us.

Thank you for helping us prove that small acts, done consistently, can change the world.

Time for a change? Where to work as a radiologist in rural Australia

Thinking about what’s next in your radiology career? 

We’re here to make the case for working in regional Australia — and to show you the many different ways to do it. 

Exceptional radiologists take regional roles for all sorts of reasons — a fresh start, a stronger sense of purpose, a break from burnout, or simply to try something new through locum work or teleradiology. 

Three Ways We Can Help You Work Differently 

At Prescript, we support radiologists across three main work pathways — giving you the freedom to shape your next chapter: 

• Locum – Short- or medium-term placements with travel, accommodation, and logistics fully supported. 

• Permanent – Long-term moves to communities that value your expertise. 

• Teleradiology – Remote work from wherever you are, with flexible hours and excellent pay. 

Whatever your goals, we’re here to help you find the right fit. 

Why work in regional health? 

Because you’ll be making a difference where it matters. 

With radiologists in short supply outside the capitals, your skills can directly improve access to care in communities that need it most. That brings not just professional satisfaction, but real personal reward. 

It’s not only about impact, though — regional radiology roles can offer broader clinical exposure, better pay, and more flexible ways of working. There are real options, whether you're interested in locum stints, a permanent move, or even remote teleradiology. 

The benefits of working in regional Australia: 

1. Closer relationships with patients and referring clinicians 

2. Broader case variety – more opportunity to stay generalist or develop niche interests 

3. Higher earnings – rural incentives and less competition 

4. Lifestyle gains – a more relaxed pace outside of work 

5. Work-life balance – more control over your time 

6. Autonomy – shape your department and your role 

Where can radiology take you? 

Let these standout locations spark your imagination 

Whether you're after a sea change, tree change, or just somewhere new — there’s a community out there that fits your goals and values. We’re here to help you find it. 

Life on the Coast 

• Sunshine Coast, QLD – People flock here for holidays; imagine working here full-time, just a short drive from Brisbane. 

• Coffs Harbour, NSW – Beaches, great schools, and modern hospitals make this a favourite for families. 

• Broome, WA – Deliver high-impact care one day, and ride camels at sunset the next.  

Somewhere Green and Cool 

• Launceston, TAS – A foodie and nature-lover’s haven with a close-knit hospital culture. 

• Bega, NSW – A lush farming valley known for its cheese and charm, with real demand for radiologists. 

• Albury-Wodonga, NSW/VIC – Twin cities with regional hospital infrastructure, great living and even better fresh air.  

Somewhere Warm and Dry 

• Alice Springs, NT – Remote, rewarding, and full of clinical diversity. 

• Broken Hill, NSW – Historic and artistic, Broken Hill offers depth — in both culture and casework. 

• Kalgoorlie, WA – Regional WA’s largest city with strong facilities and a need for generalist radiologists.  

What happens if one of these sparks your interest? 

When you give the word, we’ll take it from there. 

Prescript’s concierge-level support means you can focus on the work while we handle logistics — from credentialing and travel to helping you find local coffee, accommodation, and social circles. We’ll make the move simple and stress-free. 

Where to find work as a regional radiologist 

Australia’s regional imaging landscape is varied, giving you flexibility in how and where you work: 

1. Large private imaging networks 
   Multi-site providers with national systems and support. Great for those who enjoy structure, with the opportunity to pursue sub-specialty interests alongside generalist work. 

2. Independent regional clinics 
   Often single-site or family-run, these offer autonomy, variety, and deeper relationships with your referrers and community. 

3. Public hospitals 
   From regional base hospitals to remote district health services, expect broader clinical exposure and opportunities for interventional or teaching roles. 

4. Private hospitals 
   Modern, well-equipped environments with elective-heavy caseloads and less emergency pressure. 

5. Teleradiology providers 
   Deliver meaningful reports from wherever you’re based. It’s an ideal solution for radiologists wanting flexibility or who aren’t ready to relocate. 

Your questions answered 

What’s the cost of living like?

In short: lower. Rent alone can be dramatically cheaper. In Alice Springs, for example, average rent is around 70% less than in Sydney (Numbeo, 2025). That means more left over for travel, family, or fun. 

Is relocating hard? 

Not with us. We’ll handle everything — from paperwork and onboarding to where to park and how to connect with the local community. You won’t go it alone. 

Will I get bored? 

Not likely. Most radiologists tell us the variety, autonomy, and lifestyle balance make life feel richer — not quieter. Plus, regional and remote work often brings unique clinical challenges you won’t see elsewhere. 

Can I do this remotely? 

Yes — many radiology groups now offer teleradiology roles with competitive rates and full flexibility. If that’s more your style, we can help. 

When you're ready, we’re here 

Prescript is here to connect radiologists with the right work — whether you’re on the move, working from home, or stepping into something new. We bring clarity, care and real insight into every placement. 

Let’s talk about what’s next.

We believe that when we get these two crucial things right, it has a huge impact on the regional doctor shortage and the healthcare of communities across Australia.

Every Prescript Placement Now Supports Families of Seriously Ill Children

At Prescript Recruitment, we’ve always believed that recruitment should be about more than just filling roles. It should be about making a difference where it truly matters. We’ve spent years helping to solve Australia’s regional doctor shortage, ensuring communities have access to quality healthcare. But we’ve always known we could do more.

That’s why I’m incredibly proud to share our latest initiative. From 1st March, every doctor we place will now help provide essential support for families with seriously ill children through our partnership with B1G1 and their handpicked projects for Ronald McDonald House.

If you’re a doctor working with us or a health service partnering with Prescript, you’re now part of something even bigger. Your work is changing lives—not just in hospitals, but for families going through the toughest times.

Giving That’s Part of What We Do

This isn’t new for us. Giving has always been at the heart of Prescript. Through our Platinum Partnership with B1G1 (Business for Good), every placement, every success, and every relationship we build contributes to something greater.

Over the years, we’ve supported projects that provide:

• Over a million days of access to clean water for communities in need

• Healthcare for children living in poverty in India

• Medical salaries in Kenya to support rural hospitals

• Hundreds of meals for families who would otherwise go hungry

Now, we’re focusing on helping families closer to home. We know that when a child is seriously ill, life is turned upside down. Families often have to leave home, work, and everything familiar behind to be by their child’s side in hospital. The stress, both emotional and financial, can be overwhelming.

That’s where you come in.

How Every Placement is Making a Difference

From March, every doctor placed in a regional or telehealth role through Prescript will help fund one of two life-changing initiatives run by RMHC:

Helping Sick Kids Stay on Track with School

When children spend long periods in hospital, their education often suffers. The Ronald McDonald Learning Programme provides one-to-one tutoring and tailored support, so kids don’t fall behind in school. Your placement helps ensure these children have the resources they need to rebuild their confidence and return to the classroom.

Providing Comfort to Families in Hospital

When a child is in hospital, parents often don’t leave their side for weeks or months at a time. The Ronald McDonald Hospitality Cart provides snacks, books, toys, toiletries, and comfort items to help families feel supported during their stay. Thanks to your placement, more families will have one less thing to worry about.

What This Means for You

If you’re a doctor working with Prescript, know that every locum, telehealth, or permanent role you take is helping a child and their family in need. Your skills are already making an impact in regional Australia, and now your work is changing lives beyond the hospital too.

If you’re a health service, your partnership with Prescript means you’re not only securing the best doctors for your community—you’re also contributing to something bigger. Every placement through Prescript now carries a ripple effect of care, compassion, and support.

Why This Matters

This is what recruitment should be about. It’s about solving problems, supporting communities, and making sure that every placement means something. We’re not just filling rosters; we’re building a future where healthcare professionals and health services create lasting change—together.

To everyone who has worked with us—thank you. Because of you, we’re not just placing doctors. We’re changing lives.

Introducing Elliott Hunter: Making a Difference One Placement at a Time

An Interview with Elliott Hunter, Recruitment Partner at Prescript

James Hill, Prescript's Founder, sat down with Elliott Hunter, our newest Recruitment Partner specialising in GP Rural Generalist and Emergency Medicine roles, to talk about his journey, goals, and insights as he takes on the challenge of solving Australia’s regional doctor shortage.

Here’s what he had to say about his mission, passion, and purpose in the role.

---

What inspired you to join Prescript Recruitment, and what excites you most about your new role?

Elliott: I joined Prescript Recruitment because I believe I can make a real, tangible difference in people's lives—especially by addressing the rural healthcare shortage. That mission really resonated with me. I also love how Prescript goes above and beyond to offer what I call “business class treatment” for our doctors.

What excites me most is diving into this new industry. Although it’s a career pivot for me, I’ve worked at companies with successful medical recruitment arms and have seen how rewarding this field can be. I’m eager to get stuck in, learn everything I can, and make an impact.

You specialise in GP Rural Generalists and Emergency Medicine roles. What unique opportunities do these fields offer to doctors seeking locum positions?

Elliott: Many of these roles are in rural or coastal areas, offering doctors a chance to work in environments that are both challenging and rewarding. For GP Rural Generalists, there’s often an element of working in emergency departments, which keeps things exciting and dynamic.

For emergency medicine doctors, Prescript provides a bespoke, tailored approach. We really listen to what they need and deliver personalized solutions that match their goals.

How do you plan to make an impact in helping rural and regional communities access the medical care they need?

Elliott: I’m committed to working tirelessly to find the right doctors for the right hospitals. My goal is to place as many doctors as possible in these underserved areas, ultimately closing the gap in access to quality healthcare.

What goals have you set for yourself in your first year at Prescript?

Elliott: My main goal is to help as many doctors as possible find rewarding roles in rural and emergency medicine. We have an extensive database of doctors, and I plan to cast the net wide, reaching out to connect them with locum opportunities across rural Australia.

Getting to Know Elliott – Beyond Work

What do you enjoy doing outside of work that helps you recharge and stay motivated?

Elliott: I’m a proud father to my six-month-old daughter, Nyla, and parenthood is a new adventure I’m fully embracing. Outside of family life, I’m passionate about fitness—it’s my way of recharging. I’m into calisthenics, yoga, Pilates, and even cold plunges and hot saunas. Call me crazy, but I love the recovery aspect of it all.

If you could give one piece of advice to doctors considering rural placements, what would it be?

Elliott: Come and speak to Prescript. We’ll find a tailored, bespoke approach that’s guaranteed to meet your needs.

What’s a fun fact about you that your colleagues or clients might be surprised to learn?

Elliott: I’ve spent most of my adult life living outside of my native Ireland. I’ve lived in Edinburgh, New York, and now Australia for nearly a decade.

What’s your favorite thing about working with a purpose-driven team like Prescript?

Elliott: It’s knowing that we’re making a real difference by providing essential healthcare services to rural communities. There’s a sense of purpose that drives everything we do.

Building Connections and Creating Impact

How do you build trust and long-term relationships with doctors and healthcare providers?

Elliott: I’m a firm believer in listening more than talking. By truly understanding what motivates people and what they’re looking for in their careers, I can help them find the best fit and build lasting connections.

What’s one key quality that makes a successful recruiter in the medical field?

Elliott: Persistence. Working tirelessly to find the right opportunities for doctors is key. It’s about dedication and never giving up on finding the perfect match.

Quickfire Round

• Coffee or tea? Coffee

• City life or rural retreats? Rural retreats

• Favorite place to travel? Tuscany

• Morning person or night owl? Morning person

• Dream dinner guest (dead or alive)? Marcus Aurelius—I love Stoic philosophy.

Looking Ahead to 2025

What are you most looking forward to as you settle into your role at Prescript?

Elliott: I’m excited about the learning journey and immersing myself fully in medical recruitment. As I mentioned earlier, it’s all about making a tangible impact and ensuring that rural and remote areas have access to quality healthcare.

How would you describe Prescript Recruitment’s mission and values in three words?

Elliott: Purpose. Impact. Dedication.

As Elliott settles into his role, we’re excited to see the difference he’ll make for both doctors and communities. His passion, drive, and commitment perfectly align with Prescript’s mission to solve Australia’s regional doctor shortage. Welcome aboard, Elliott!

From day one, we’ve aimed to create a workplace where our recruitment and credentialing team feel valued and supported so they can perform at their best.

That’s why I’m excited to introduce Me Days – an extra week of paid leave designed to help our Prescript team maintain balance.
