Frequently asked question by overseas doctors

  • How can an international medical graduate register to work in Australia?

    To practice in Australia, international doctors need to pass the Australian Medical Council (AMC) examinations and subsequently gain registration through the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA).

  • What are the visa options available for overseas doctors wanting to work in Australia?

    Overseas doctors commonly use the Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa or the Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS). The best option often depends on the job offer and the doctor's qualifications.

  • Do I need to take an English proficiency test to work as a doctor in Australia?

    Yes, doctors must prove English proficiency, typically through tests like IELTS or OET, meeting the criteria set by AHPRA.

    The process can range from 6 months to several years, depending on the doctor's qualifications, chosen pathway, and job availability.

  • Are my qualifications recognized in Australia?
