Fixing healthcare staffing in South Africa
GPStaff was born from a simple frustration: finding a locum GP in South Africa was harder than it needed to be. We built the platform we wished existed — for practitioners and practices alike.
Every practice staffed. Every practitioner placed.
South Africa faces a significant shortage of healthcare professionals, particularly in underserved areas. At the same time, many qualified GPs and specialists struggle to find the right opportunities — whether for locum work or permanent positions.
GPStaff bridges that gap. We've built a verified network of practitioners and practices that makes placement faster, safer, and more transparent for everyone involved.
- HPCSA verification on every practitioner profile
- Transparent rates and role details upfront
- POPIA-compliant data handling throughout
- Dedicated support for both sides of every placement
Patient-First Thinking
Every feature we build starts with one question: does this help ensure patients get the care they need?
Verified & Trustworthy
We verify every practitioner against the HPCSA register. Practices can hire with confidence.
Built for South Africa
We understand the unique challenges of SA healthcare — from rural shortages to urban locum demand.
Speed When It Matters
Locum cover is often urgent. Our platform is built to match practices with available GPs in hours.
