Medical recruitment consultants in Australia and can help guide you in the right direction. The most popular pathway for doctors to work as a GP in Australia is the specialist pathway program via the Royal Australian College of GPs.
to work in Australia as a medical practitioner there are three key steps:
Obtain a successful skills assessment
Get registered with the Australian Medical Board (AMB)
Get a visa
In order to get registration with the AMB you will need a job offer unless you are successful in gaining registration as a specialist.
No matter how many years of experience you have in your home country, your initial registration in Australia will be either limited or provisional – with the exception of specialists. This means that you will need to complete 12 months of supervised practice (minimum of 47 weeks of full-time service) before gaining general registration.
Gaining registration is easier for doctors who trained and/or are registered to practice in the the UK, Canada, USA, New Zealand and Ireland. The Australian Medical Board recognises that practitioners from these countries have essentially equivalent qualifications. Therefore the skills assessment and registration process revolves around verification of those qualifications and work experience.
Practitioners from other countries are required to pass both a written (AMC CAT MCQ) examination and the AMC clinical examinations, which are administered by the Australian Medical Council (AMC). In some cases a workplace-based assessment can be substituted for the clinical examination. Upon successful completion, you can then apply for provisional registration.
Specialists have a different skills assessment and registration pathway which is administered by the College that represents that field of specialisation.
