Why Australia?

I love a sunburnt country, A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooding rains.
I love her far horizons,
I love her jewel-sea,
Her beauty and her terror --
The wide brown land for me!

- Dorothea MacKellar

Career Opportunities

"The Australian health system is world-class in both its effectiveness and efficiency: Australia consistently ranks in the best performing group of countries for healthy life expectancy and health expenditure per person." (World Health Organization 2003).

There are opportunities to work in many fantastic locations across Australia and in situations that would be impossible in other countries. There are chances to work with remote communities of indigenous Australians or in inner city clinics. With the recent changes to registration eligibility medical graduates from the UK, Ireland, USA, Canada and New Zealand now have a hassle free pathway to full registration and thus be eligible to join the Australian Training schemes. If you do not fit into this category but have worked 3 out of the past 4 years in Europe, Hong Kong, Iceland, Israel or Singapore you may well be eligible for a position in New Zealand.

Australian Public Hospitals

Public hospitals have invested heavily in state of the art communication systems which emphasise the use of technology to facilitate healthcare delivery at the bedside. Online x-rays /pathology reports are usual practice, as is same day reporting on most standard tests. Hospitals utilise intra-net networks to ensure good communication between departments and disciplines and much of the dispensing of medication can be dealt with in this way too.
