Working in Australia

Working as a doctor in Australia

Working in Australia

With its great outdoors, hot weather and fantastic beaches, Australia offers a lifestyle most northern hemisphere people can only dream of.

Australia is the world's 6th largest country but has the lowest population density in the world.  So it's a country of large, vibrant, lively cities, wide open spaces and miles of pristine, white sand beaches.  Add to that its fantastic sporting heritage, cosmopolitan cafe and dining culture plus a wine industry that wine connoisseurs will love, it's easy to see why Australia is a better place to be.

Working in Australia offers unique challenges and experiences; from rural outposts in the sun baked outback to exciting metropolitan centres and career advancement opportunities with an incredible lifestyle to match.

To work as a doctor in Australia, you must:

Register with the Australian Medical Council and Medical Board of Australia

Apply for a work visa

Medical Registration in Australia

At Triple0, we will co-ordinate your applications and assist you every step of the way.

If you completed your primary medical degree in Australia or New Zealand, you are eligible for general registration in all states of Australia.

If you completed your primary medical degree outside of Australia or New Zealand, you may be eligible for registration via:

The Competent Authority Pathway (for those having met certain requirements and graduating from or have previously worked in New Zealand, United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada or USA); or

The Standard Pathway - You must successfully pass the Australian Medical Council Multi Choice Examination (AMC MCQs) and have completed a period of supervised practice.

Overseas trained specialists can apply for recognition or assessment of their specialist qualifications through the Australian Medical Council and the relevant specialist college.

For further information on registration in Australia, please visit www.amc.org.au and www.medicalboard.gov.au.

Once we have confirmed a position for you, you can apply for a work visa.  This can be done online and takes approximately four to six weeks to finalise.  We will also put you in touch with the immigration authorities so your visa or permit is processed in a timely manner.

To work in Australia, you must meet criteria laid down by the Australian Department of Immigration and Multi-Cultural Affairs (DIMA).  For further info, please visit the DIMA website www.immi.gov.au or contact us at doctors@triple0.com
