Ochre was born in the bush. Our story began in 2002, when proceduralist doctors Hamish Meldrum and Ross Lamplugh worked in the quintessential NSW outback town of Bourke. Challenged by the need for quality locum doctors in rural Australia, Ross and Hamish established ‘Australian Outback Locums’, promoting the family-friendly, outback Australian lifestyle to like-minded and capable doctors. Today, Ochre Health is a leading facilitator of healthcare to rural, regional and urban communities around Australia. We operate a network of over 60 medical centres across five states and territories and we are a service provider to more than 400 doctors. We also work with hospitals and medical practices throughout Australia and New Zealand to source and place locum and permanent doctors across a wide range of specialties.
