You may have heard that AHPRA has launched the Expedited Specialist Pathway for internationally qualified Psychiatrists who meet the eligibility criteria, and we’re here to help!
Through this pathway, Specialist International Medical Graduates (SIMGs) holding an eligible qualification can apply directly to AHPRA for specialist registration, bypassing the need for an expensive and time-consuming specialist college assessment.
The Psychiatry pathway is open to United Kingdom graduates with Membership of the Royal College of Psychiatrists (MRCPsych) and a Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT), awarded under any RCPsych curriculum from August 2007 to date, following satisfactory completion of a General Medical Council or Postgraduate Medical Education and Training Board approved specialty training program in psychiatry in the United Kingdom.
You don’t need to have secured a job yet to apply, but your job will need to be approved by AHPRA.
If you trained in the UK and meet the criteria, let us help you with:
- The expedited registration process
- Securing a great job, matching your career aspirations
- Immigration, relocation and settlement support; we’re by your side all the way!
