Acquiring and setting up future practices

You'll be working in a modern, world-class health care system. In the Commonwealth Fund’s recent report comparing the performance of health systems in ten developed countries, Australia ranked first for equity, health care outcomes, and overall for health care system performance.*

You will often be working in rural environments with less ready access to specialty care, significantly increasing and broadening your clinical skills. You'll also have the option to challenge yourself in even more remote environments, and help make a difference to the lives of Australia's First Nations people.

Australia is ranked fourth in the highest-paying countries for doctors, so the opportunity to be well remunerated is high, enabling you to live the type lifestyle you desire.

You will also be fortunate enough to enjoy a high standard of living, as Australia far out performs the average in the OECD Better Life Index.

Not only do these factors make Australia a great place to raise a family, but you can also be assured they will enjoy a world-class education system, which currently includes three of the world's top 20 universities.

And it goes without saying that Australia is renowned for its unique natural environment...

...that provides an enviable variety of sporting and recreational activities.

Because we work for YOU. We are not recruiters — we are not hired by employers to fill their vacancy and solve their problem. We act solely for you and in your best interest — our mission is to assist you to maximise your potential right from the start in a new and unfamiliar environment. We do so by providing advice and guidance on all aspects of your journey to a fulfilling and successful life in Australia.

We take the heartache out of the entire, significantly complex and lengthy process. We know the hacks, and have the inside knowledge to make it as efficient as possible, ensuring you can focus instead on being a clinician.

We will find the most appropriate job in a location that best suits your career and lifestyle needs. We will then do all the negotiations to secure you the best possible salary package.

Our medical director is an experienced general practitioner and Fellow of the RACGP, who will guide you through the medical credentialling, accreditation, and training process.

Our lawyer is also an accomplished migration agent with hundreds of successful visa applicants now settled in Australia. He will guide you through the immigration process (all the way through to Permanent Residency and Citizenship if desired), as well as ensure other legal matters are expertly handled.

We will assist in handling the myriad of personal and logistic requirements of relocating to a new country, to make the process as smooth and pain-free as possible.

Later we can assist you in your own medical practice acquisition and setup, where you may be able to offer the same job opportunities to future IMGs that you had.
