FAQs
What pathway does the Overseas Registration Service cover?
From the 21st of October 2024, it will cover both the PEP Specialist Pathway with the RACGP and the AHPRA Expedited Specialist Pathway with different pricing.
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 so the fee for PEP Pathway would be reduced
How long does it typically take for a GP to be ready to work in Aus?
Processing times often change, please contact us for an up to date timeframe
Can we provide support for the other GP pathways?
Yes, we can provide assistance for all registration pathways, if you are looking for help for pathways other than the AHPRA Expedited Specialist Pathway, please contact us at [email protected] for a personalised quote.
Are Migration Services included?
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.
