Updating Paperwork

Friday 30, July 2010

There are a few basic documents required for any locum that you may complete. These documents are kept on file at Health 24-7 to eliminate the need for you to resend the same documents for multiple locums. Some of the documents required before you can commence a shift include, (but are not limited to):

Detailed CV
3 current professional referees with contact numbers
Certified copy of current medical registration that shows the expiry date
Certified copy of current medical defence that shows the expiry date and level of cover
Certified copy of fellowship certificate, or evidence of fellowship
Certified copy of CME (Continuing Medical Education), issued by your relevant College
Certified copy of your original medical degree
Certified copy of your passport (& any pages showing current visas you require)
Certified copy of your drivers license
2 passport photographs (certified on the back)
Evidence of Immunisation
Evidence of appropriate working visa if required

Please note that a certified copy is one where a Justice of the Peace or Solicitor sites the original document and they have signed the copy stating that it is a true and accurate copy of the original document. All certified copies must be dated within 3 months of application.

These identification and qualification documents are included in your Health 24-7 application pack; however those that expire such as medical registration must be resent to health 24-7 on renewal. It is a good idea to send certified copies of your updated documents to your Health 24-7 consultant as you receive them. This will save time when applying for a shift, and will also help to avoid that last-minute rush.

So remember to fax (+61 2 6372 3996), post (PO BOX 1100 Mudgee 2850 NSW Australia) or email (info@health247.com.au) a certified copy when you receive updated documents such as your annual registration certificate or on renewing your drivers licence. Similarly, if you are adding information to your CV after completing a locum, simply send us an updated copy, alternatively please let us know you would like to update your CV and we can maintain this for you. Keeping this information up-to-date will ensure you are able to commit to a shift with relative ease and minimum fuss.
