The moving to Australia Guide for UK Junior Doctors

Are you a UK junior doctor yearning for a brighter future and a life-changing adventure? Picture this: basking in the glorious Australian sunshine on pristine beaches, living a lifestyle that most only dream of, and earning a salary that reflects your dedication and expertise. Welcome to the Land Down Under!

Choosing where to start your Australian journey can be challenging, given the vastness of the country. But that's where Trueworld Capital comes in to make the transition smoother. Here's a simplified guide to help you claim your dream medical career in Australia:

Exploring the Opportunities

Australia offers a myriad of opportunities for medical professionals, and finding the right place to begin is essential. Cast your net wide by sending generic emails to hospitals all over the country. Remember, the more emails you send, the higher your chances of receiving interview invitations. It's all about keeping your options open.

Consider your preferences – do you lean towards the big city buzz of Melbourne or Sydney, or perhaps the endless sandy beaches of the Gold Coast? Salary, relocation expenses, and the local lifestyle are factors to weigh in too.

Nailing the Interview

Aussie hospitals typically offer virtual interviews via video calls or pre-recorded interviews. While some preparation is always advisable, don't fret too much about the interview process. Hospitals are mainly looking to put a face to a name before offering a job, and success rates are high.

The Long and Expensive Part – Medical Registration

Secured an offer of Australian employment? Fantastic! Now comes the administrative part – becoming a registered Australian doctor. It's a process that involves paperwork and costs. Here's a breakdown:

1. AMC/EPIC: Create an AMC portfolio and an EPIC account, which includes a video call to verify your identity. Priced around £480.

2. Document Notarisation: Get your documents notarized by a solicitor, including passport, driving license, birth certificate, and degree certificates. Costs vary.

3. Letter of Good Standing: Request this from the GMC, which is a straightforward online process.

4. International Criminal History Check: Costs around £95.

5. APRI-30: A comprehensive application to APHRA for a medical license. Priced around £500.

6. SPP-30: A shorter form that should be sent off with your APRI-30.

The Long and Expensive Part Continued - Visa

Now that you've got your offer and are progressing through medical registration, you'll need a visa to live and work in Australia. Here's what's involved:

1. IMMI Account: Create an account on the immigration platform for issuing Australian visas.

2. Check Your Required Visa Category: Check with your hospital for the appropriate visa category.

3. Police Check: Obtain a police check through ARCO, which costs around £55.

4. Letter of Intent: Write a brief statement explaining your reasons for coming to Australia.

5. Visa Application: Fill out the visa application form and upload required documents.

6. Health Check: Undergo a medical examination at approved centres to ensure you meet health standards. Priced around £400.
