Charterhouse Medical

What Charterhouse Medical does

Charterhouse Medical is an Australian medical recruitment consultancy founded in 2009 and headquartered in Sydney, operating as part of the broader Charterhouse Group (with sister entities Robertson Search, CH Talent Resources, and Labour Solutions UAE). The firm places doctors — including specialists, registrars, RMOs, and GPs — into both locum (short-term, ranging from days to months) and permanent positions across public and private healthcare facilities in metro, regional, and rural Australia, with active coverage spanning Western Australia, Victoria, Tasmania, New South Wales, and Queensland. It recruits across at least nine disciplines: Anaesthetics, Emergency Medicine, General Medicine, General Practice, Surgery, ICU, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Paediatrics, Psychiatry, and Radiology.

The company's core platform is a Volcanic-based recruitment website offering a searchable job portal, resume submission portal, and a Career Centre of editorial content. There is no proprietary matching algorithm or AI tooling; differentiation is delivered through named specialist consultants (e.g., Radiology, Emergency Medicine, GP), value-added services such as AHPRA credentialing, travel and accommodation coordination for regional locums, and a 'Champions of Charterhouse' rewards program offering Qantas Frequent Flyer points and referral bonuses. The go-to-market is sales-led, with consultants engaging both healthcare facilities and candidates directly across Australia.

Charterhouse Medical earns revenue on a transaction-fee basis: placement fees as a percentage of salary for permanent placements and negotiated margins on locum day rates (sample postings indicate locum rates up to approximately $4,000/day for radiology and $250-$270/hour for GP work). Pricing is not publicly disclosed. With 11-50 employees and no disclosed funding or revenue, the business appears to be a privately held, cash-generative mid-sized specialist recruiter rather than a venture-backed marketplace.
