For International Medical Graduates who want to work and train in Australia
You trained overseas and now face a maze of exams, evidence packs and registration rules. IMG Navigator Australia helps IMGs and specialist IMGs map the right pathway — Standard, Competent Authority, Specialist or Expedited — and move forward with a realistic, Ahpra-aligned plan.
Guidance only. We are not a regulator, college, employer, or migration agent, and we do not guarantee registration outcomes. We connect you to official Ahpra, AMC and college sources.

Why doctors seek guidance
The pathway is public. The right sequence for you is not obvious until your file is laid out.
Most overseas-trained doctors arrive with strong clinical experience and still stall on paperwork. Rules differ by country of qualification, specialty, exam history and intended practice setting. Small misunderstandings early on cascade into delayed applications, repeat fees and avoidable stress.
Common sticking points for IMGs
- Conflicting advice from forums, peers, and outdated blog posts
- Uncertainty about competent authority, standard, or specialist pathways
- Exam sequencing that does not match your specialty or timeline
- Document packs rejected for missing evidence or unclear translations
- Supervised practice and employer requirements that surface too late
What clearer guidance offers
- A structured read of your training, exams, and registration stage
- A prioritised action list instead of a vague to-do pile
- Language that translates regulatory steps into practical next moves
- Early flags on timeline, cost, and eligibility risks
- A calmer decision framework before you pay major fees
