The Expedited Specialist Pathway for UK and Irish GPs

If you trained as a GP in the UK or Ireland, you could apply through the AHPRA Expedited Specialist Pathway. This route lets GPs with the MRCGP or MICGP apply directly to the Medical Board of Australia for specialist registration. You do not need to go through the longer college assessment process first.

In practice, this means you could be working as a GP in Hobart much sooner than through the standard route. We will guide you through each step, from registration to visa to relocation. This means that you could be departing the UK or Ireland and arriving in Australia within 6‑9 months.
