Steps to obtaining Medical Registration in Australia
To work as a doctor in Australia, you are required to be registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and to have been assessed by the relevant specialist college. Most IMG’S are required to work for a period of supervised employment referred to as An Area Of Need (AON). Doctors who hold New Zealand or Australian primary medical qualifications are exempt from the restrictions that apply to IMG’s and follow a separate registration process.
