Hear from medical professionals who relocated to Australia with Ava Medical.
Moving from an NHS Trust to Royal Melbourne was the best career decision I've made. Ava Medical handled everything — AHPRA, visa, even helped us find a house. My salary doubled and I actually get to see my kids before bedtime now.
I was nervous about the AHPRA process but the Ava Medical team made it seamless. Within 4 months of my first call, I was working in Sydney. The lifestyle here is incredible and the hospitals are brilliantly equipped.
I chose a rural placement in Queensland and it's been incredibly rewarding. The community really values their doctors, the pay is exceptional, and I get to go diving on the Great Barrier Reef on my days off. No regrets.

Typically 3–6 months from initial contact to starting your role, depending on your specialty and visa requirements. We work to make the process as fast as possible.
