Booleroo Centre District Hospital is located 260km from Adelaide, South Australia and has consistently relied on the Rural Locum Assistance Program (Rural LAP) since February 2024, after using us for placements in 2023, to help bridge staffing gaps, particularly during periods of annual leave. The ability to book in advance and have contracts filled promptly has alleviated the stress of rostering.

Booleroo initially turned to Rural LAP out of necessity. With the increasing challenge of covering leave with just casual staff, they were seeking a reliable service able to provide skilled healthcare professionals. Rural LAP’s reputation, built through stories of successful placements at neighbouring healthcare sites, made them a natural choice for the hospital.

“Rural LAP has been excellent! From the initial booking through the website to the staff on the floor, they have been organised and proficient”, said Sam Gum, Nurse Unit Manager. Rural LAP’s contribution to Booleroo Centre District Hospital extends beyond mere staffing. The registered and enrolled nurses supplied have integrated seamlessly into the team, bringing with them enthusiasm, capability, and a strong work ethic. The program’s ability to provide proficient and well-organised staff from booking to deployment has solidified its value.

“Thank you, Rural LAP team, for providing a responsive, efficient, and essential service!”
