For care providers
We ask you to post the shifts you can't cover internally for 8 weeks, and give 20 minutes of feedback every fortnight.
Up to 10 agencies
You'll need a current labour hire licence, public liability and professional indemnity cover, and 15 or more active care workers.
MedBridge is software. It never employs, supplies or places workers. Only agencies holding a current labour hire licence can bid, and the care provider always makes the final choice.
