Across all nine provinces — Gauteng, Western Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, Eastern Cape, Free State, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, North West and Northern Cape.
What it costs
Nothing to join, and no subscription. LocumLink charges no agency fees and takes no commission, so the rate you set is the rate you are paid. A traditional agency adds its margin on top of your rate, which makes you more expensive to book without putting anything in your pocket.
Registration and verification
You must be registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) to take locum optometrist work through LocumLink.
LocumLink does not verify registrations. The business engaging you is responsible for confirming your registration and qualifications with HPCSA directly, as they would for any hire. Keeping your own registration current and in good standing remains your responsibility.
