Visit Our BlogThe entire relocation process typically takes 3-6 months from initial application to starting your role in Australia. This includes skills assessment with AHPRA, visa application processing, role matching, and any pre-departure preparation. We work closely with you to ensure each step moves as smoothly as possible.
No, our service is completely free for doctors. We are paid by Australian hospitals and healthcare providers who benefit from our recruitment services. You will never be charged for CV review, role matching, AHPRA support, visa guidance, or any other service we provide.
AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency) registration is required to practice medicine in Australia. The process involves submitting your qualifications, medical degree, work experience, and English language proficiency. For UK doctors, qualifications are generally recognized, but AHPRA will assess your credentials against Australian standards. We guide you through every step, including any additional assessments required, and typically the process takes 6-12 weeks.
Yes, absolutely. We assist with visa sponsorship for qualified doctors. The most common pathways are the Skilled Migration Programme (482 visa for temporary work) and the 494 visa (skilled independent visa). We work with hospitals that are approved sponsors and help you navigate the visa process, timeline, and requirements. The specific visa pathway depends on your qualifications and the role you're pursuing.
We recruit across all major medical specialties including Emergency Medicine, General Practice, Surgery, Anaesthesia, Radiology, Psychiatry, Paediatrics, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Internal Medicine, and many others. We also work with hospitals hiring medical officers, registrars, and consultants across all experience levels. If you're unsure whether your specialty is in demand, please get in touch and we'll discuss the current opportunities.
We're not just a recruitment agency — we're your end-to-end relocation partner. We handle AHPRA registration, visa sponsorship, role matching, housing assistance, and ongoing support even after you've started your new role. We have established relationships with 120+ hospitals across Australia, deep understanding of the regulatory requirements, and genuine commitment to your success. Our 98% satisfaction rate reflects our dedication to making your transition to Australia smooth and rewarding.
