Most international doctors know they want to practise in Australia — but spend months trying to figure out the fastest, most cost-effective way to get there. We’ve spent 16 years navigating this for GPs every single day. Now we’ve built a tool to give you a personalised recommendation in minutes.
* For GPs actively exploring a move to Australia.

You know you want to go! You just don’t know the best way to get there.
You’ve done the research. You’ve read the AHPRA website, asked ChatGPT, and scrolled through expat doctor forums. You have a broad picture — but when it comes to which pathway actually makes sense for your specific qualifications, your timeline, and your goals, the answer still isn’t clear.
There are three main routes to GP registration in Australia:
- The Expedited Specialist Pathway with AHPRA (ESP)
- The PEP Pathway with RACGP
- The Standard Pathway via AMC examinations
Each one has very different requirements, timelines, and costs — and the gap between them is significant. The right choice for your situation could save you years and tens of thousands of dollars. The wrong one could cost you both.
Choosing the wrong pathway doesn’t just slow you down… It can cost you years and significant money before you realise the mistake.
Not just your options. Our recommendation – with the time and cost reality laid out clearly.
Generic information about pathways is everywhere. What’s hard to find is someone who knows the system inside out and can tell you — for your background, your qualifications, your situation — which route is actually best, how long it will realistically take, and what it will cost.
Alecto Australia’s pathway tool is built on 16 years of placing GPs in Australia across all three pathways. It knows the edge cases, the exceptions, and the situations where the less obvious route turns out to be the fastest and most cost-effective. Answer a few questions and we won’t just show you your options — we’ll compare the ESP, PEP, and Standard Pathway for your specific situation and tell you which one we’d recommend, and why.
