Top clinical workforce solutions executive to lead Talent Quarter’s newest division
May 22, 2025
Talent Quarter Group (TQG) has appointed one of Australia’s most highly regarded clinical workforce solutions professionals to head up its new business division.
Corrine Taylor will lead TQG’s Clinical Services division, which provides top-level search for highly specialised and hard-to-fill roles within the clinical space across Australia and New Zealand.
The Clinical Services team will partner extensively with the other divisions within Talent Quarter and the Executive Quarter (EQ) business to maximise health sector opportunities for the broader business group, which is experiencing significant growth.
With a career that spans more than 20 years and has seen her place thousands of medical practitioners and health professionals into roles throughout the Trans-Tasman, Singapore and the Middle East, Corrine brings an incredible wealth of experience to TQG.
“We’re very excited to welcome Corrine, who is one of Australia’s top workforce solution specialists in healthcare, to the business,” TQG Managing Director Sue Healy said.
“Corrine has held various senior executive and director roles and owned and run medical, nursing, aged care, and social and community locum and permanent recruitment businesses.
“She has also collaborated with public health facilities throughout Australia on key health workforce challenges, which have seen her involved in numerous meetings with federal and state health ministers and shadow ministers to obtain funding for specific projects and campaigns.
“We are excited about Corrine leading our new Clinical Services division, which will really build on the impact we’re having on our healthcare system by connecting senior level clinical candidates domestically and internationally with opportunities to make a real difference to people’s lives.”
Corrine is the Chair of the Association of Medical Recruiters Australia & New Zealand and holds an appointment on the Association of Nursing Recruitment Agencies council. She recently completed a four-year term as the Health and Medical Director on the Recruitment, Consulting and Staffing Association (RCSA) board, and holds roles with the Australian Medical Council and Queensland Health.
Corrine is excited about heading a division that will source candidates not actively in the job market who have incredible skillsets to make an impact in healthcare settings across Australia and New Zealand.
She is working alongside Elena Ryan, who specialises in research and targeted search, with extensive experience across a range of industries and functions including global executive searches and talent mapping.
“The Clinical Services division will deliver long-term health solutions in the clinical space, largely in communities that lack highly specialised health practitioners,” Corrine said.
“It is something I am incredibly proud to be doing, given the positive impact it will have on healthcare systems in Australia and New Zealand.
“Throughout my career, I have travelled extensively and developed relationships with health professionals and hospitals throughout the world.
“I have personally and professionally lived and breathed in this sector for a long time. I have deep networks in healthcare and a strong understanding of federal and state statutory and stakeholder processes and requirements, which I’m excited to bring to Talent Quarter Group (TQG).”
Corrine’s appointment caps off an incredible 12 months for TQG, which has increased its revenue by 116 per cent, grown its team by 60 per cent, and added the Clinical Services division and other new service lines.

As the year draws to a close, it’s natural to switch gears: to reflect on the past 12 months, recharge over the holidays and perhaps start to think about what comes next. If you’re working in the healthcare sector - whether nursing, allied health, aged care or medical support - now is an excellent time to give some thought to your next career step . At Talent Quarter, we have fantastic opportunities waiting for you, and we’d love to get you connected. Get in touch with us today and let’s make your next step the best career move so for you. Below is our career-checklist and some practical tips to help you approach a job move in the new year - with less stress, more clarity and even while you enjoy your holiday downtime. Why now could be a smart time for a change Even though the labour market has its fluctuations, the healthcare sector in Australia continues to show strong underlying opportunities.
Working in rural and remote healthcare isn’t just a career move, for some, it’s a calling. For many nurses, it’s about stepping into communities where access to healthcare can be limited, and where your presence actually makes a world of difference. One of our incredible nurses, Brittanie , has spent the past three years working across remote Australia - and she shared what this experience has meant to her, she says: “After spending time in rural areas, I realised how much impact you can have in small communities. Every day is different - from emergency response and CareFlight retrievals to outstation visits and primary healthcare - and you never stop learning.” Connection is at the Heart of Care What stands out most about rural nursing isn’t just the variety of work, it’s the connection. In these communities, you’re not just a clinician; you’re a massive part of their lives. You're able to see the results of your care first-hand and watch families grow across generations. The landscape, culture, and pace of life bring a sense of purpose and grounding that’s hard to find elsewhere. “Being surrounded by country and culture gives you a real sense of meaning. It’s not just healthcare - it’s connection, belonging, and learning from the strength and resilience of the communities you serve.” At TQ, this is a first-hand example of what we call Connections with Impact.
Working in Aged Care means giving compassion, patience and heart every day. But in a sector built on care, your own wellbeing matters just as much as the people you support. What the Numbers Say Recent Australian research shows wellbeing in aged care is under real pressure: Around 1 in 4 workers experience burnout symptoms like fatigue and emotional exhaustion (ARIIA, 2024). Burnout rates increased and resilience has declined (Medical Journal of Australia). Over half of workers in some studies have considered leaving due to workload and emotional strain. These aren’t just stats - they’re the lived reality of the people caring for our most vulnerable. Why It Matters Burnout doesn’t happen overnight. It’s the slow build-up of long shifts, emotional load, and never-ending demands. But you matter too - your health, your energy, your purpose. It’s okay to pause, take leave, ask for help, and reset. Caring for yourself is part of caring for others - you can’t pour from an empty cup! Alexiss, our Head of Aged Care at TQ, puts it perfectly: “Pause and reconnect with your purpose. Remember what drew you to aged care, because those meaningful connections can reignite your spark when you need it most.” What Helps Reduce Burnout in Aged Care Smarter workloads, better schedules: When shifts are balanced and you have more control over your work, burnout drops - and job satisfaction rises. Strong support systems - Good leadership and supportive teammates make all the difference. Care work is relational, and carers need care too. Spot pressure early - Noticing stress points before they build helps keep teams steady and safe. Extra hands when needed - Partnering with Talent Quarter means having qualified staff ready to step in when workloads peak. Hiring for the long haul - Bringing in the right permanent staff creates stability, strengthens teams, and helps prevent burnout before it starts. 🤝 Connections with Impact At TQ, we really do believe that great care starts with supporting the carers . We’re here to help connect you with workplaces where you feel valued, supported and able to thrive - physically, mentally and emotionally. Let us help you find an Aged Care role that’s right for you! And remember, it’s okay to pause. To take leave. To ask for help. To reset. The best carers are those who know when to look after themselves first. Because when you’re well, the positive impact you create ripples through everyone around you. If you’d like support, guidance, or simply someone to talk to, our Aged Care Team is here for you.
