Information for International Medical Graduates

Government policy states that priority will be given to Australian residents who are eligible for full registration with the Medical Board of Australia (MBA).

To be eligible for vacancies within The Children, Youth and Women’s Health Service international medical graduates must satisfy certain criteria as set down by the Australian Medical Council see http://www.amc.org.au/.

The Australian Medical Council (AMC) assesses international medical graduates who want to practice medicine in Australia. The assessment follows one of four pathways.  Other core requirements are EICS which is the assessment / verification of primary medical qualifications, and proficiency in the English language per the IELTS or equivalent English language testing, International Police Clearance and Current (dated within 3 months) Certificate of Good Standing from each Medical Registration / Licensing Authority where you have worked during the last 5 years.

IMGs should clearly identify their AMC status or otherwise in their job application.

Overseas Trained Specialists or Specialists in Training wishing to undertake a short period of specified training will require registration by the Medical Board of Australia.  CYWHS will seek advice from the relevant specialist medical college. The colleges will provide advice on whether the position is a suitable training position and whether the training program is suitable for the applicant. The MBA in determining eligibility for registration may wish the applicant to state an intention to return to their country at the completion of the training program.
