Reaching the right doctor, in the right country, before the right event, is not a straightforward process.
Rural Health West is a not-for-profit organisation that has been supporting the recruitment of doctors to regional Western Australia for more than 30 years, working collaboratively with government agencies and private organisations at local, state and national levels.
In November 2025, they attended The Doctor's Job Fair in London and Dublin, the largest event of its kind for medical employers seeking to attract overseas doctors. To make the most of their presence, Rural Health West needed to reach UK and Irish GPs before the event and encourage them to engage with the team at the fair.
With just $800 in media budget and a highly specific audience to reach, the campaign needed to connect with the right doctors at the right time. A single, targeted Meta lead-generation ad opened with a single direct question: "Are you a GP thinking about relocating to Western Australia?" The creative offered two pathways. Doctors who could attend the fair in person, and those exploring relocation more broadly.
From October to November 2025, the results were clear:
- 1 confirmed UK doctor relocating to Western Australia
- $20.89 cost per qualified lead from UK and Irish GPs
- $2.82 cost per click from targeted international audiences
- 37 additional leads still being pursued
For Rural Health West, that first result means one more doctor in a community that needed one.
