Who we help
At Alecto Australia, we offer both a traditional recruitment service, and a stand alone registration service for practices that source their own candidates from overseas and need help with Medical Registration in Australia.
Navigating the GP / Doctor registration process can be complex, but you don’t have to tackle it alone. Whether you’re a general practitioner or other medical specialist seeking to streamline the registration process for your team, our experts are here to assist.
At Alecto, we pride ourselves on delivering expert advice and tailored support to ensure a smooth, efficient registration process.

Package Pricing
- The Overseas Registration Package costs $12,000 plus GST. This is for the RACGP Specialist PEP Pathway.
- To initiate the service, 50% of this fee is due now with the remaining 50% due within 6 months.
- If the GP changes their mind and no longer requires the service, payment of the second instalment of $6000 is not required, however we require 14 days notice prior to the 6 month anniversary of the service.
- From late October 2024 we will offer support with the new AHPRA expedited specialist pathway. It’s anticipated that GPs will require less support with this option so the total fee will be $6000 plus GST (with full payment at the beginning)

FAQs
What pathway does the International Medical Recruitment package cover?
It covers the PEP Specialist Pathway with the RACGP. It is anticipated that towards the end of 2024, we will be able to offer another pathway with AHPRA’s expedited pathway. Further details will be provided in late 2024 or early 2025.
If a candidate already has the RACGP assessment, is there a reduction in the fee?
For GPs who have already completed Part A with the RACGP and have been found to be partially or substantially comparable, they are likely to need only 6 months of support. Therefore, only the first payment of $6,000 is required.
How long does it typically take for a GP to be ready to work in Aus?
The duration will be between 9 and 12 months, depending on how organised and responsive the GP is with the paperwork requirements.
Can we provide support for the new AHPRA expedited specialist pathway?
Yes, once the details are released in late October 2024. We only anticipate 6 months of support will be required, so the fee will just be AU$6,000.
Are Migration Services included?
Can we provide support for the new AHPRA expedited specialist pathway?
Need more information? Book a 15 minute consultation and talk to our Registration Specialist Megan about this service.
Most practices choose to offer 482 Visas to GPs, and we are able to provide basic support for standard immigration. Basic support is provided to the GP if they choose to accept the offer of a 482 Visa. For complex migration issues, additional fees may sometimes be required. The complexity is more likely to be on the candidate’s side, and it may be a cost the GP has to bear.
