Who this is for • IMG & SIMG

    Pathway notes, not promises

    Australian registration routes are set by official bodies and can change. We help you interpret publicly available requirements and prepare thoughtfully. We do not assess applications, grant registration, or act as a migration agent.

    Recently qualified overseas doctors

    You are planning a move and need a realistic view of AMC CAT MCQ, clinical / WBA, English requirements, and how long the journey may take before clinical work in Australia.

    Experienced clinicians changing countries

    You already practise elsewhere and want to understand whether specialist recognition, standard pathways, or transitional Area of Need roles better match your career stage.

    Doctors already in Australia

    You may be in supervised practice, seeking the next registration step, or reassessing a pathway that has stalled after arrival.

    Doctors comparing options

    You are weighing DPA location, specialty goals, family timelines, and cost. You need a clearer framework before committing to one route.

    Standard pathway orientation

    Overview of AMC assessments, WBA hospitals, documentation, and the order of milestones before provisional and general registration.

    Competent authority considerations

    For doctors whose qualification and practice history may align with competent authority arrangements — we help you test fit and avoid assuming eligibility too early.

    Specialist recognition questions

    If you hold substantial postgraduate training, we help you frame the right questions about RACP, RACGP, ACRRM, RACS, ACEM, ANZCA comparability and parallel planning while you wait.
