MICGPs holding CSCST, and MRCGPs holding CCT may be able to start work in Australia within 3 months, or less, of registration processing time.


General Practitioners Prioritised

  • GPs are the first of the priority specialists identified by the Medical Board to create a fast track process to get more medical specialists to Australia.

  • The Kruk review explicitly recommended the creation of an alternative fast-track pathway to specialist registration for eligible medical specialists from countries with comparable healthcare systems. https://doctorconnect.blog/3TvPRwq

  • Eligible SIMGs on the expedited specialist pathway will be granted specialist registration with conditions that allow them to work as a specialist while undertaking six months of supervised practice, cultural safety education and an orientation to the Australian healthcare system.

  • The new, expedited pathway for doctors with eligible qualifications will sit alongside the existing pathways to specialist registration, which will remain in place for SIMGs not eligible for the expedited pathway. Over the last year there has also been a 26% decrease in the time taken to assess applications. https://doctorconnect.blog/3ZsdvOm
