Record Number of Overseas Doctors Moving to Australia – But Challenges Remain 🇦🇺👨‍⚕️👩‍⚕️

A recent Australian Medical Council (AMC) survey reveals that while more international medical graduates (IMGs) than ever are registering in Australia, they still face major hurdles.

Key challenges faced by IMGs include:
- Long, complex, and delayed processes
- Limited training and fellowship opportunities
- Discrimination in the workplace
- Difficulties relocating families due to rural placements
- Gender bias – especially affecting female IMGs

More than 50% reported experiencing discrimination, and 70% of specialists reported significant delays in completing their transfer process.

But there’s hope!
AMC is initiating reforms to improve exam prep, streamline pathways, and involve more IMGs in decision-making. However, experts warn that government support (like FSP funding) is critical to meaningful change.

Let’s continue pushing for fair, efficient, and supportive systems for all IMGs building their futures in Australia.
