Our Mission
Doctors to Australia was created with a single purpose: to provide a comprehensive, honest, and up-to-date resource for international medical graduates who want to work in Australia. We believe that every doctor deserves access to clear information about the registration process, visa requirements, and career opportunities — without having to pay for it or wade through conflicting advice.
The process of moving to Australia as a doctor is complex. It involves multiple government bodies, professional examinations, visa categories, and career decisions. We bring all of that information together in one place, organised logically, and written in plain language.
Who We Are
Doctors to Australia is an independent information resource. We are not a recruitment agency, migration agent, or government body. Our team understands the challenges that overseas doctors face because we have researched and documented every step of the process in detail.
We are committed to keeping this site free from bias. We do not favour any particular pathway, employer, or migration agent. Our goal is to present the facts so you can make the best decisions for your career and family.
Why This Site Exists
When overseas doctors begin researching how to work in Australia, they quickly discover that the information is scattered across dozens of websites — AHPRA, the AMC, the Department of Home Affairs, specialist colleges, state health departments, and more. Much of the advice found on forums and social media is outdated, incomplete, or simply wrong.
We built Doctors to Australia to solve this problem. Every page is carefully researched, regularly reviewed, and structured to give you the information you need without unnecessary complexity. Whether you are exploring the registration pathways, preparing for AMC exams, comparing visa options, or looking for your first job, you will find a clear and reliable guide here.
Get in Touch
We welcome feedback, corrections, and suggestions from doctors who are going through the process or have already made the move. Your input helps us keep the site accurate and useful for everyone.
If you have a question, want to share your experience, or notice something that needs updating, please visit our contact page to get in touch.
