PEP Specialist Pathway – Registration

Registration Process

There is a registration process that needs to be followed when moving to a new country. We will work through it together before you start work. The great news is that the government acknowledges that this system can be improved, and over time, the process is becoming more streamlined.

The other great news is that Doctor Connect has a passionate, friendly and experienced registration team who deal with these processes every day. We will be able to answer your questions and help you get to Australia as soon as possible.

We will need to work through cascading processes with:

• Verification of qualifications with the ECFMG / EPIC, and registration with the Australian Medical Council
• Engaging with the College of General Practitioners, the RACGP
• Registering with AHPRA, the Medical Board
• Immigration for your work visa, or PR, and
• The Australian Department of Health and your Medicare Provider Number (MPN), which is the final element that you need to start work

This process is detailed but we are here to help and can advise you on current wait times.
