What HealthTimes does

HealthTimes is an Australian digital marketplace and content platform operated by Seabreeze Communications Pty Ltd, headquartered in Melbourne. The company targets registered nurses, midwives, and allied health professionals (occupational therapists, physiotherapists, social workers, medical imaging professionals, and similar roles) with three integrated offerings: a searchable job board covering 50+ specialties, a CPD course directory with affiliate lead-passing to education providers, and a free HealthTimes magazine delivered to 50,000+ subscribers alongside specialty-organized Practice Hubs covering 45+ clinical areas. Supporting tools include job alerts, resume services, online applications, a wage checker, and a Working Abroad portal that extends the job board to New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the United States, the Middle East, Canada, and other international markets.

The platform is built on a web-based content management system and job/course marketplace, with user personalization through cookies and an email job alert notification engine. The site draws over 150,000 monthly visits via organic search and social channels (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn) and processes advertiser payments through eWAY without storing cardholder data. There is no mobile app, no disclosed AI/ML functionality, and no public API or developer ecosystem.

HealthTimes monetizes through three streams: paid job listing advertising from healthcare employers (hospitals, aged care facilities, nursing and recruitment agencies), affiliate/referral course enquiries routed to education providers, and third-party product and service advertising in the subscriber magazine and email newsletter. The professional-facing side is free, with a freemium pricing model; advertiser fees are not publicly disclosed. The company is privately held, has 11-50 employees, has no disclosed outside funding, and reports no parent company, M&A activity, or leadership changes in the available data.

Broad incumbents

• LinkedIn: Global professional network with extensive healthcare community and integrated job listings. Increasingly used by healthcare recruiters and professionals, putting pressure on vertical players like HealthTimes.
• SEEK: Australia's dominant generalist job board with a substantial healthcare vertical. Competes with HealthTimes for healthcare employer recruitment spend and candidate traffic, though at vastly larger scale and broader scope.
• Medscape: Large global medical professional news, education, and reference site. Comparable as a healthcare professional content + advertising destination, though Medscape primarily serves physicians rather than nurses and allied health.
• Indeed: Global generalist job search engine with significant healthcare employer presence. Represents the largest competitive threat to vertical job boards like HealthTimes given scale, brand, and aggressive healthcare vertical investment.

Direct peers

• Nurse.com: US-based nursing job board, news, and continuing education platform. Mirrors HealthTimes' combined job board + CPD + magazine model targeting the nursing workforce, though operating at larger US scale.
• Ausmed: Australia-focused healthcare professional education and CPD platform serving nurses and midwives. Highly comparable to HealthTimes because both monetize Australian nursing/midwifery audiences via CPD content and employer/educator relationships.

Regional players

• Nursing Times: Long-established UK nursing news, CPD, and recruitment brand. Closely comparable content + jobs + education model, but focused on UK nurses rather than Australian professionals.
• BMJ Careers: UK/global medical and healthcare recruitment arm of the BMJ group. Comparable as a healthcare-specific jobs/news destination for clinicians, though focused on UK and doctor-leaning audiences.
• HealthJobs UK: UK-focused healthcare-specific job board operated by NHS Business Services Authority. Comparable niche healthcare recruitment model but UK NHS-centric, not Australian.

Emerging players

• Health eSolutions: Emerging healthcare workforce technology provider. Adjacent rather than directly competing, but relevant as a next-generation healthcare recruitment/matching tool that could displace traditional job boards like HealthTimes.
