Working As A Doctor In Australia

Work as a Doctor in Australia

When you think of Australia, you might think of the Harbour Bridge, endless beaches and the never ending outback. However Australia also has tropical rainforests, alpine villages, country towns and deserts. Not to mention buzzing, cosmopolitan cities such as Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. Seeing all of Australia is not something you can do in a quick trip, and considering its distance from places in Europe or the America’s, a quick trip just isn’t practical for many visitors anyway!

This is what makes being an expat in Australia so fantastic. You get to live in Australia, earn money, and take the time to travel all over the country.  

If you are a qualified doctor, you can work in permanent or locum doctor jobs all across Australia, getting a feel of the different styles of the country, and earning a great income at the same time.

Beat Medical is a medical recruitment agency connecting doctors with jobs all over Australia. Whether you want a laid back tropical lifestyle in sunny Townsville, or an exciting life in the big city of Sydney, Beat Medical can connect you with the job that is right for you. 

Working in Australia is a dream for many international doctors, however there are numerous logistical, bureaucratic and administrative hurdles they have to overcome first. Beat Medical assists doctors through not only identifying suitable jobs for them but also helping with all the other steps involved in becoming established as a doctor in Australia.

Doctor Job Applications in Australia

The job application process for doctors in Australia may be very different to that used in a candidates’ home country. We have years of experience in helping present our doctors in the best light, giving them every assistance to become the right candidate for their dream job.

We can also help identify the right jobs for you and put you in touch with the ‘hidden’ employment market – those jobs which are not advertised

Negotiating Contract and Pay in Australia

Expats new to Australia may not have the knowledge, confidence or experience to be able to negotiate themselves the best deal possible when accepting their new job. Beat Medical knows the market inside out, we know what our candidates are worth. We will negotiate for the best conditions on your behalf.

Finding a Place To Live

Do you want to live near the beach, near mountains, near rainforest or farmland? Do you like the feel of a small country town or big city life? The choices of where to live and work as a doctor in Australia are endless.

While making the decision of where to live can be exciting, what is considerably less so is the consideration of things like leases, rent prices, bonds, establishing utilities, and the countless other administrative tasks which need to be undertaken when you move into a new home. Beat Medical can help you with all these tasks, smoothing your big move, and making sure you can concentrate on your new job and enjoy your new home.

Professional and Legal Requirements For Working In Australia

Finally, before you are permitted to work as a doctor in Australia you will have to ensure that you have the applicable working visa, recognised qualifications and medical registration.

There are numerous professional and government bodies involved in this process, but Beat Medical simplifies the process for you, working with them on your behalf.

General Practitioners and Specialist Doctors qualified in the United States of America, Canada, United Kingdom or Ireland, may be eligible for full recognition as a fellow, while graduates from other systems may be eligible for partial recognition.

Whichever category you fall into, if you want to in Australia as a doctor, Beat Medical can provide the support you need to make it happen.
