A point of confusion we often see with international doctors relocating to Australia is around police checks.

Many assume that once they’ve completed an 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤 (𝐈𝐂𝐇𝐂) 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐀𝐇𝐏𝐑𝐀, they’re covered.

Unfortunately, that’s 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐬e, for 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐬:

🔹 𝐈𝐂𝐇𝐂 – 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐀𝐇𝐏𝐑𝐀 𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧
This is required by the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency to assess your suitability for medical registration in Australia.
It’s part of your 𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬.

🔹 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤 – 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐀𝐟𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐬 (𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐚 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐬)
This is required by the Department of Home Affairs as part of your visa application.
It assesses 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐥𝐚𝐰.

Even though both involve criminal history, they are 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 and submitted to different government bodies.

We’ve had doctors caught off guard thinking their ICHC would automatically satisfy visa requirements, only to find out they need to complete an additional police clearance for their visa application.

It’s a small detail, but missing it can cause unnecessary delays in your relocation timeline.

If you’re preparing for AHPRA registration and a visa application, make sure you understand which checks are required at each stage.

Please reach out if you have any questions about your Police Checking process.

In our industry, we speak a lot about doctors.
About pathways.
About DPA, MMM, supervision, billings, incentives.

But today, we want to acknowledge the people who often make it all work behind the scenes.

𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐬.

A great Practice Manager can quite literally make or break a clinic.

They are the operational backbone, the culture keeper, the problem solver, the calm voice when things get busy (or when a pandemic breaks out). They’re managing rosters, compliance, systems, patient flow, billings, staffing challenges, often all before lunchtime.

Recently, DXC Medical's Shayla Owusu was chatting with two Practice Managers who were in the middle of preparing for newly arriving GPs.

Not just onboarding paperwork.

They were assisting with real estate options, offering guidance on suburbs and school enrolments, and checking in on family logistics to ensure everything was falling into place.

This is the part most people don’t see.

When doctors tell us they feel supported, welcomed and settled, it’s often because of a Practice Manager who has gone above and beyond.

In a climate where general practice is under pressure, strong leadership and operational support inside clinics has never been more important.

So here’s to the Practice Managers:
The organisers
The facilitators
The ones who keep the doors open and the wheels turning
The quiet heroes behind every great clinic

We see you. And we appreciate you 👏

DXC Medical's Adelene Chew recently welcomed a wonderful GP couple who arrived in Western Australia from the UK less than six weeks ago.

Dr Htet Oo and Dr Naychi Oo are now settling into life in WA and practising in the Mandurah region with Brecken Health.

Hearing them reflect on their move is incredibly rewarding. They shared that relocating to Western Australia has truly been the right decision for them, and that engaging DXC Medical Recruitment to support their journey made the transition smooth and reassuring.

Htet and Naychi are now enjoying this new chapter. They love where they live, where they work, and being part of a busy clinic, while still having the chance to head up to Perth from time to time for a good concert!

To us, that’s true work-life balance.

One thing that really stood out was how grateful they are to their employer sponsor. They said that if they had to go through the journey again, they would absolutely choose the same path. The support and genuine warmth they’ve received from the Brecken Health team has made all the difference.

Being able to connect doctors with practices that genuinely support them is incredibly fulfilling.

Htet and Naychi are very happy with their move, and we’re excited to share more of their story soon.

Watch this space, their full GP Journey story is coming soon.

If you’re a UK GP considering a move to Western Australia, we’d love to help you explore the possibilities.

Feel free to reach out for a chat.

Last week many GPs received their AKT and KFP results, and for those who achieved a positive outcome, a huge congratulations. What a milestone!

These exams require an incredible amount of dedication alongside full clinical workloads, family commitments, and the everyday pressures of general practice.

Passing is a reflection of not only knowledge, but resilience and commitment to high-quality patient care.

For many, the focus now shifts to the CCE in June. It’s the final stretch of a long journey, and while preparation can feel intense, it’s also an opportunity to consolidate the clinical judgement and communication skills that make great GPs.

To everyone preparing, keep going, you’re closer than you think!
And to the practices, supervisors, and colleagues supporting candidates along the way, your encouragement makes a real difference.

Wishing all GPs the very best for the next stage.

Last week some of the team had the opportunity to attend AHPRA’s webinar on helping International Medical Graduates (IMGs) get registered in Australia.

It provided a helpful overview of the registration pathways, timelines and supervision requirements doctors need to navigate when moving to Australia.

For any international doctors considering a GP career here, we’ve created a simple snapshot of the key points covered.

Having supported 150+ GPs from around the world through the relocation and registration process, our team understands just how complex the journey can be.

If you’d like to explore the different registration pathways in more detail, we also have more in depth information available on the DXC Medical Recruitment website: www.dxcmedical.com.au

And if you’re considering making the move to Australia and would like to discuss your options, feel free to reach out, we’re always happy to discuss your specific requirements and questions in detail.

The 10 Year Moratorium: Are you sure you have completed yours?

In recruitment, there are some things we can take at face value. Moratorium status isn’t one of them.

Over the years, we’ve seen well-intentioned GPs confidently state they’ve completed their 10-year moratorium, only for us to discover that the legislation says otherwise.

This isn’t about mistrust. It’s about compliance, risk management, and protecting both practices and doctors.

We have had an example just this week of a VR GP realising that the moratorium they thought was finishing in July 2026 actually finishes in July 2027.

For practices hiring VR GPs, and for doctors navigating 19AB requirements, here’s what must be checked every time:

1️⃣ Citizenship or Permanent Residency Status
Has the GP obtained Australian citizenship or permanent residency?
There is a rare1997–2001 exemption, but this only applies to a very specific cohort registered with AHPRA during that period.

2️⃣ AHPRA Registration Timeline
Check the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency register for their Date of First Registration.

Has 10 years actually passed since their first registration date?
Dates matter.

3️⃣ Scaling Claims
If a GP says they’ve received scaling:
Where did they work? For how long? Were they full-time?

Scaling is linked to the Remote Area classification under the Health Workforce Locator. You need evidence, not recollection.

4️⃣ HPOS Evidence
Always request documentation via the Health Professional Online Services (HPOS) account.

📍 A Practical Tip for GPs
The 6-month location rule can be a powerful way to strategically complete or reduce your moratorium across different locations.
Used correctly, it provides flexibility and momentum.

The moratorium legislation is nuanced.

Even experienced practice owners, managers and doctors misunderstand it.

As recruiters, and as employers, we carry a responsibility to verify.

If there’s any doubt around a GP’s moratorium status, whether you’re a practice looking to hire or a doctor reviewing your own position, please reach out to the DXC Medical team.

We are always happy to provide a confidential, no-obligation consultation.

The 2026 Cleanbill Blue Report: What It Means for General Practice

The 2026 Blue Report provides one of the most comprehensive national snapshots of GP accessibility, billing behaviour and patient out-of-pocket costs across Australia.

It analyses data from 2023–2026, tracking how government policy, particularly the 2025 expansion of bulk billing incentives, has influenced clinic behaviour and patient affordability.

In 2026, the data shows:

• 40.2% fully bulk billing (almost double in 12 months)
• 13.5% increase in average out of pocket expenses to $49.23

NSW and NT now sit above 50% bulk billing clinics. Tasmania, which had zero fully bulk billing clinics in January 2025, now has 37.

But Here’s the Other Side:

While bulk billing clinics increased, out-of-pocket costs also rose sharply.
• National average gap increased from $43.38 (2025) to $49.23 (2026)
A 13.5% jump year-on-year

• Even after adjusting for bulk billing shifts, costs still rose 6.8%

At the same time, the total number of clinics nationally has declined slightly due to consolidation and closures.

From a recruitment perspective, billing models directly influence GP movement, location preferences, and income expectations.

Our team have reported that this is now the top issue raised by GPs in all three groups (VR GPs, offshore GPs and doctors entering GP training)

We’re seeing very real conversations around:
– Sustainability
– Margin pressure
– Workforce shortages
– Access vs viability

The 2026 Cleanbill data shows that policy levers do move behaviour, but affordability pressures remain.

The 2027 report will be eagerly anticipated by all stakeholders, as this will be the first that includes a full 12 months of data following the November 1st 2025 bulk billing changes.

Last week we went live with our new CRM/ATS system.

It’s something we’ve been working on behind the scenes for the last 9 months, and it represents an important evolution for DXC Medical Recruitment.

This wasn’t just about upgrading technology; it was about recognising that our previous system had reached its limits and could no longer support where we’re heading as a business.

As DXC Medical continues to grow, we need infrastructure that evolves with us. The recruitment landscape is shifting rapidly, particularly with the acceleration of AI, and we knew we needed a platform capable of supporting smarter workflows, cleaner data, stronger reporting, and long-term scalability.

A CRM/ATS system is more than software. It’s the operational backbone of a recruitment company. It influences how we manage information, how we track progress, how we ensure compliance, and how we create consistency across the team.

Transitions like this require investment, not just financially, but in time, energy and focus. They come with learning curves and short-term disruption. But growth demands that kind of reinvestment.

What excites us most is what this unlocks: cleaner data, more efficient processes, and the ability to integrate AI responsibly and effectively into how we operate moving forward.

Proud of the team for embracing the shift. They were all involved in the shortlisting, selection, mapping, testing and migration, which has been crucial to the success of the project.

If you’re considering upgrading your CRM/ATS, feel free to reach out, we're always happy to share our insights and lessons from the process.

Over one week in and it is night and day from where we have come from.
