Thank you

Due to increasing operating costs and a changing landscape in locum availability, I am sad to say that it is no longer viable for TOPS to remain in operation. From 1 August 2024, the Entire HR App will no longer be in service however all previously booked locum sessions will be honoured.

 

For the past 35 years, TOPS has connected countless orthoptists with Eyecare facilities, both in a locum and a permanent capacity. Many orthoptists have found employment both from doing locums and applying through the many job ads we have posted. We have seen many changes over the years, from a simple landline, through to texts, emails and finally an app to connect locums with clinics. It has been quite a journey but I think with ever changing technology, it is easier to connect directly more now than ever.

 

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank all the orthoptists who answered our numerous calls and texts, and those who accepted sessions through the app and travelled around Melbourne, Victoria and even interstate to fill available positions. I really appreciate your work and professionalism.

 

I would like to thank all the orthoptists, practice managers, admin staff and doctors with whom I have had the pleasure of dealing with over this time, I really appreciate your support and am happy I could assist in your orthoptic requirements.

 

On a personal note, I would be happy to locum as an orthoptist, so feel free to contact me directly if you need a locum!

 

Thank you all❤️

Changes to T.O.P.S in 2022

 

Good news for orthoptists in 2022!!!

 

There will be some changes to TOPS in 2022. From January 1 2022, the requesting facility will incur a booking fee for every locum session filled. Unfilled sessions will not incur this fee.

 

The booking fee is $25.00 per session, ie $25.00 for 1/2 day and $50.00 for a whole day. This is similar to the commission that the orthoptists were previously charged. 

 

As we are introducing the new booking fee, the sessional rate for locum orthoptists will remain unchanged for the time being. The locum orthoptist will invoice you directly as usual, unless a previous arrangement has been made with TOPS. TOPS will invoice you the booking fee for each session requested and filled, each month. Unfilled sessions will not be charged. Please note all subsequent sessions requested of an orthoptist previously booked through TOPS will incur the  booking fee.

The Mobile App!

July 2019

The mobile App has been up and running for more than 6 months now and I am pleased to say it is going well!!

What it means for the oprthoptist:

- sessions are released on the app and you can accept them as you are available, if someone else accepts first, the shift will no longer be available so there is no confusion,

- you can update your availability anytime,

- all your confirmed sessions are stored in the app for easy reference

Less confusion, more reliability!  Join now on the link on this website!!

 

For the Clinics:

- there is also a Client App, where you can request a locum an it will go in the system “live”, no more waiting for reply texts.

- you will be able to see immediately if an orthoptist has accepted your session

- you will be able to request a certain orthoptist if he/she is available

Less confusion, more reliability!!  Email Viv at vivien@topslocums.com.au to get the Client App
