Step 1: Registering with Medacs and Obtaining a Position
Before you can obtain a position, you will need to
register with us.
Initially we will just require a copy of your current CV. If you are
successful in obtaining a job, the facility may ask that you first
complete an application form and/or complete a criminal history check
form. We will provide you with the relevant documentation, followed by
a letter of appointment from the facility. At this point you will be
given a member password and login to our tracking website??
Step 2: Medical Registration
Registration procedures
differ depending on your experience and qualifications and whether you
have been or are applying as a specialist, general practitioner or
non-specialist. We will guide you through this process and provide you
with the relevant information and application forms so you can gain
registration to work in Australia.
Step 3: Sponsorship & Visa Application
Medacs
Australia will liaise with the facility in applying for your
sponsorship/nomination from the Department of Immigration and
Citizenship (DIAC). Prior to this, we will ask you for the details of
any additional applicants (immediate family members) that you wish to
include on your visa, as their details will also be included in your
sponsorship.
Once both your registration and sponsorship applications are
underway, you will be able to start the process of applying for your
Australian visa. Medacs Australia will provide you with the relevant
information and ensure you are assisted throughout this process.
You should allow yourself plenty of time to obtain a visa as it can
take anywhere from 4-8 weeks for formalities to be completed. Further
information can be obtained directly from the DIAC website www.immi.gov.au.
