Doctors and Co

What Doctors and Co does

Doctors&Co Limited is an Australian private healthcare services company, founded around 2018 and headquartered in Bankstown, NSW, that operates a B2B and B2B2C platform combining healthcare professional recruitment, full practice management services, and a multi-site clinic network. The company places GPs, nurses, dentists, allied health professionals, registrars, students, and support staff into partner clinics and multidisciplinary health hubs on Australia's east coast, and complements placement with managed services covering accreditation, compliance, billing, bookkeeping, branding, marketing, IT systems, and financial planning for medical practices. It also offers practice sale and acquisition brokerage for owners exiting the market.

The operating footprint comprises over 35 partner clinics and medical centres across New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, and the ACT, augmented by wholly-owned specialty brands including Aspire Skin Clinic (dermatology and cosmetic skincare), Venus Women's Clinic (obstetrics, gynaecology, reproductive health), WeCan (natural medicine), Healthplex (occupational health and rehabilitation), The IV Clinic (intravenous therapy), Ocura (urgent care bridging GP and ED), and Alora (doctor-supervised weight loss). Underlying technology is conventional healthcare IT rather than proprietary AI: an Electronic Medical Records system for patient information storage and access, the Zali Health telehealth platform providing 24/7 virtual GP consultations, and integrations with third-party practice management, booking, and pathology partners (Best Practice, HotDoc, Healthengine, Australian Clinical Labs, Laverty, Automed, Cubico, 4cyte).

Revenue is generated through healthcare staff placement fees, recurring managed-services contracts for practice management functions, and professional services fees for practice sales and acquisitions; pricing is not publicly disclosed and contracts are multi-year. Go-to-market is sales-led, with regional area managers driving both clinician recruitment and clinic partnerships. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional or private-equity backing and no public listing; its growth to date has been funded organically across its network of partner clinics, specialty brands, and regional operations.

Broad incumbents

• Healius Limited: Healius (formerly Primary Health Care) is Australia's largest medical centre operator with hundreds of clinics and a pathology business. It is a broader incumbent that overlaps with Doctors&Co in GP clinic operations, pathology services (via partnerships like Australian Clinical Labs), and practitioner recruitment, but at significantly larger scale.
• Bupa Health Services: Bupa Health Services operates optical, dental, and physiotherapy clinics across Australia through Bupa Optical and Bupa Dental. It is a broad incumbent that overlaps with Doctors&Co's specialty clinic portfolio (Aspire Skin, Venus Women's Clinic, Healthplex allied health) but operates at materially larger scale with a global insurance parent.
• Sonic Healthcare: Sonic Healthcare is an ASX-listed global diagnostics giant that owns IPN Medical Centres, a substantial GP clinic network in Australia. As a broad incumbent, it competes with Doctors&Co across pathology (Sonic is a partner via Laverty and other brands) and clinic operations, though its core business is diagnostics rather than primary care.

Direct peers

• Healthcare Australia (HCA): Healthcare Australia is the country's largest healthcare staffing agency, placing doctors, nurses, and allied health professionals. It is a direct peer to Doctors&Co's recruitment and placement business line, competing for the same practitioner pool feeding both organizations' clinic networks.
• Better Medical: Better Medical is a PE-backed Australian GP clinic roll-up with a comparable strategy of acquiring and operating general practices across multiple states. It is a direct peer to Doctors&Co's clinic network business, competing for the same acquisition targets and practitioner talent.
• Aspen Medical: Aspen Medical is an Australian-owned healthcare services provider delivering workforce solutions, clinics, and primary care across Australia and internationally. It is a direct peer to Doctors&Co in healthcare staffing and clinic operations, particularly serving government, defence, and remote workforce contracts.
• IPN Medical Centres: IPN Medical Centres, owned by Sonic Healthcare, operates a network of GP clinics focused on practitioner-led general practice. It is a direct competitor to Doctors&Co's CarnesHill Doctors and broader east-coast clinic network, particularly competing for placement of GPs and registrars.
• ForHealth Group: ForHealth Group operates one of Australia's largest networks of medical centres and is a direct competitor in the GP clinic consolidation and practice management space. Like Doctors&Co, ForHealth combines clinic operations with practitioner placement and has been an active acquirer of GP practices on Australia's east coast.
• Healthia Limited: Healthia is an ASX-listed allied health and eye-care clinic network with an MSO-style operating model. It is directly comparable to Doctors&Co's multidisciplinary health hub strategy, particularly its allied health (physio, podiatry, optometry) and specialty clinic verticals.

Emerging players

• Guardian Medical Services: Guardian Medical is an emerging GP clinic operator in Australia focused on delivering high-quality primary care through a smaller but growing network. It is comparable to Doctors&Co as an emerging player in the primary care consolidation space, though at a smaller scale and more limited geographic footprint.
