Who this is relevant to
International medical graduates, general practitioners, specialists and doctors already in Australia who want to understand their migration options. Tell us your current registration and career stage so the enquiry can be scoped correctly.
Requirements
Check the Medical Board’s pathway guidance for your background before committing to exams or an application. The AMC’s overview distinguishes Standard, Competent Authority, Specialist and short-term specialty training pathways. Relevant qualification verification and assessment steps vary; not every doctor follows the same examination route.
Process
- Summarise your medical degree, postgraduate training and current professional registration.
- Identify the relevant registration pathway using the medical authorities’ guidance.
- Outline the intended role, location and any employment offer.
- Check the visa and any sponsorship requirements alongside the registration timeline.
Evidence
For an initial enquiry, provide a short outline of your specialty, training country, current registration and intended work. Detailed credential and employment records can be requested through an agreed collection method if needed.
Common issues
AMC assessment, Medical Board registration, an employment offer and a visa decision are separate steps. Our migration service does not replace a regulator’s assessment or promise registration, a job or a visa. Confirm any conditions relevant to the intended role and location.
