A solid start to 2026.

We’re only just into the year and our numbers are up 20% on this time last year. A strong early signal that confidence is returning and momentum is building across healthcare recruitment.

What we’re seeing on the ground aligns with the broader picture. Healthcare and social assistance continues to be Australia’s fastest-growing industry, with forecasts pointing to over 300,000 new jobs by 2026.

Demand is expected to rise by almost 15% over the next few years, driven by an ageing population, chronic disease and growing care needs.

Plenty ahead, but it’s encouraging to see the year open on such a positive note.

Pam, Tara, Chlo & Bec are the rocks in the AB Dental Office. These four amazing humans keep everything moving, support our clinics and candidates, and somehow still manage to have a laugh along the way. So grateful for this team, the energy they bring every day, and the care they put into what they do. Couldn’t do it without you.

As we edge toward Christmas, the Australian recruitment landscape shifts gears, and the data paints a very real, very human picture of how stretched our workforce truly is.

In healthcare, dental and allied health, vacancy rates remain up to 25% higher than pre-pandemic averages. Across regional Australia, temp and locum demand has surged 30-40%, and many clinics are running with 15-20% fewer staff than they ideally need. It’s no wonder December becomes one of the most operationally challenging months of the year.

Candidate response times slow by up to 40% as people juggle burnout, school holidays, and year-end pressures; yet expectations to “fill the role today” only increase.

We also see a sharp behavioural trend. While applications drop by around 18% in December, nearly half of all Australian jobseekers begin planning their next move between November and February. The “new year, new role” wave is very real, and smart recruitment agencies are right in it now.

To every recruiter, candidate, client, and clinic we support, thank you. Let’s finish the year strong, take a breath over the break, and get ready for a big 2026.

Wonderful as always to catch up with friend and mentor, renowned High Performance Recruitment Coach Ross Clennett, FRCSA, at the NPAworldwide PowerUp Australia/New Zealand Conference in Sydney.

The agenda addressed industry-relevant themes revolving around AI, and Ross spoke on “How the Key Human Skills Will Advantage Agency Recruiters in the Age of GenA.”

Excellent as usual, Ross!
