Medical Board of Australia (via AHPRA).

Assessment process.

1. 1 Determine your medical specialty and the relevant ANZSCO code.
2. 2 Check if your medical qualification is from a country with a competent authority pathway (faster) or if you need the standard pathway.
3. 3 Obtain primary source verification of your medical qualifications.
4. 4 Submit your application through the AHPRA/Medical Board portal.
5. 5 The Medical Board assesses your qualifications, experience, and English proficiency.
6. 6 Receive your assessment outcome - this may include conditions or requirements for further assessment.

Required documents.

• Primary source verification of medical degree
• Evidence of specialist registration or training (if applicable)
• Certificate of good standing from medical registration authorities
• English language test results (IELTS Academic 7.0 in each band or OET B)
• Detailed CV and evidence of clinical practice

Tips.

• Medical assessment is complex and pathway-dependent. Consult the Medical Board website for the specific requirements for your specialty and country of qualification.
• English requirements are strict - IELTS Academic 7.0 in each band (or equivalent). There is no exemption for native English speakers from some countries, though OET is accepted.
• Specialist medical practitioners may need to pass additional exams (AMC exams for GPs, specialist college exams for specialists) in addition to the migration assessment.
