UK/IRE-trained specialists: considering a move to Australia?
I'm building a talent pool of UK/Irish doctors who hold a CCT/CCST and are open to relocating to Australia, across a range of specialties. We're working with health services across multiple Australian states, from major cities to regional and rural communities, and we're welcoming applications from all Medical and Psychiatry specialties.
Your route to AHPRA specialist registration as a SIMG depends on your specialty
1. Fast-track: Expedited Specialist Pathway
This route suits specialist GPs, anaesthetists, psychiatrists, obstetricians/gynaecologists, general paediatricians and general physicians from the UK or Ireland, with a few exceptions. If your qualification is on the Medical Board of Australia's accepted list and you meet the other specialist registration requirements, you can apply directly to AHPRA, with no college comparability assessment. Every qualification on the list has been assessed by the Australian Medical Council and approved by the Board as substantially equivalent to the Australian specialist qualification
2. Standard Specialist Pathway: all other specialties
If your specialty isn't on the expedited list, you apply to the relevant Australian specialist college for an assessment of comparability. The college's decision sets any supervised practice or further requirements before you can register as a specialist. It takes longer than the fast-track, but I'll guide you through each step.
