Nurse Practitioner Locum Solutions

What Nurse Practitioner Locum Solutions does

Nurse Practitioner Locum Solutions (NPLS) is a privately held Australian healthcare services firm founded in 2017 and headquartered in Geelong, Victoria. The company supplies experienced, endorsed nurse practitioners to fill workforce gaps in hospitals, aged care facilities, and rural/regional health services across Victoria through on-call, on-site, and telehealth modalities. Its service portfolio comprises five integrated offerings: Locum Staffing, Recruitment Services, Emergency Department (ED) Consulting, Aged Care Consulting, and Geelong Mobile Vaccination Services (GMVS), a subsidiary division launched in 2025 that delivers seasonal onsite workplace and community influenza vaccination clinics. NPLS does not operate a proprietary software platform; its 'technology' is operational — scheduling, rostering, and dispatch of clinical staff — with telehealth used as a delivery channel rather than an AI-enabled service.

The business is co-founded and directed by Dr. Natasha Jennings (2018 Australian Nurse Practitioner of the Year), Dr. Grainne Lowe, and Professor Kathy Tori (Research Director), supported by a small leadership team including an Aged & Palliative Care Services Consultant, an Administration Manager, and a GMVS Lead. NPLS operates as a sales-led B2B professional services company; pricing is not publicly disclosed and engagements are initiated via direct enquiry. Customer logos are concentrated in rural and regional Victorian health services — Seymour Health (5+ year anchor since 2017), Grampians Health Stawell, Northeast Health Wangaratta, Apollo Bay Health Service, and Maryborough Hospital — with corporate workplaces added as a secondary segment through GMVS. The firm has no disclosed external funding, operates with 1–10 employees, and runs an annual Nurse Practitioner MasterClass as a complementary education and ecosystem offering.
