New specialist registration path for GPs moving to Australia 

November 15, 2024

As of October 21, AHPRA has introduced an expedited pathway for specialist registration. This allows internationally trained specialist doctors who hold qualifications on AHPRA’s accepted qualifications list to apply directly for specialist registration. This will reduce the time it will take to move out to Australia from 10–12 months down to 4–6 months. Additionally, registration fees will be lower, as applicants will not need to pay for college comparability assessments.
