What Zeep does for you

From first call to last shift

zp
Before you start

A recruiter who knows your specialty. Tell them where and when you want to work and the rate you’re after; they bring you the jobs that fit, and you decide which to accept.

The pay laid out up front. Rates by specialty, grade and state are published every quarter in Zeep Insights, so you know the market before you pick up the phone.

Paperwork done in minutes. EasySign loads the hospital’s forms for you, carries your answers from form to form and checks your AHPRA registration on the public register.

Once you’re booked

Locum Support looks after the logistics. Our Locum Support team coordinates travel and accommodation, confirms booking details with the hospital and gets your credentialing approved before day one.

One team for the whole booking. If plans change, you have one number to call.

Your documents carry over. Everything on your Zeep file is reused for your next booking while it’s valid, so you only provide what’s new or expired.
