Timings are crucial when planning this move. Your practice has committed to you, so we have the responsibility to ensure that there are no unnecessary delays. It is vital to be aware of how long each stage of the process will take.
Current processing times are:
At this point, you will receive your agreement and invoice for the training program. When you have paid the $11,900 invoice, and signed the contract, then you no longer need to worry about the 12-month validity of your Part A.
This is a cascading workflow, so we await the completion of each step before lodging the next. To make this as fast as possible, our friendly Doctor Connect team is ready to work with you to help confirm everything that we need for the submittal of the next stage when you receive certification back from the current stage. Please do reach out to ask questions, so that we can achieve this as soon as possible.
Sometimes it can be a matter of luck that things move faster or slower. There may be a high number of applications or public holidays can create delays. If we have all of the documents ready, we can move much faster. It is always good to be thinking about what your next step should be. If you can work with our colleagues to get the right information, and answer any queries, then this can go much faster for each step and overall.
We look forward to working with you on this journey, to help you find the right job, work through the registration process, and to welcome you when you arrive.
Generally, doctors plan to arrive about a week before the expected end of the Medicare Provider Number Application Process. This allows them to spend 1 – 2 weeks settling in. There will be orientation, connecting with RACGP and their supervisor, meeting colleagues, learning the IT system, shadowing, and getting ready.
