Australian healthcare recruiters worked 'flat out' to keep up with volume of Irish applicants

Healthcare workers believe careers abroad will give them a better work/life balance.

Recruiters looking to attract medical staff from Ireland to Australia say they worked "flat out" at a Healthcare Jobs Fair at the RDS in Dublin on Saturday with 1,000 to 1,500 healthcare workers seeking information about working abroad.

The St John of God healthcare group has 24 hospitals and facilities across Australia and are seeking to recruit nurses, midwives, and doctors.
