Success Stories

Doctors Who Made the Move

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.

SP

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.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about working as a doctor in Australia.

Do I need AHPRA registration to work in Australia?

Yes, all doctors must be registered with AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency). Ava Medical provides full support through the registration process, including document preparation and application submission.

Will I need a visa to work in Australia?

Most international doctors require a visa. Common pathways include the 482 (Temporary Skill Shortage) visa or 494 (Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional) visa. Many of our partner hospitals offer visa sponsorship.

How long does the relocation process take?

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.

Are the salaries really that much higher?

Yes. Australian consultant salaries typically range from $300,000–$500,000 AUD, significantly more than equivalent NHS roles. Rural and remote positions often offer additional incentives and bonuses.

Does Ava Medical charge doctors any fees?

No. Our service is completely free for doctors. We are paid by the hospitals and healthcare providers, so there are zero costs to you at any stage of the process.

Can my family come with me?

Absolutely. Most visa categories allow you to include your partner and dependent children. We can also help with school information, partner work rights, and settling-in support for your family.
