Learn about the Competent Authority Pathway.

A short course if you are wanting to work as a doctor in Australia and are from any of the following countries, which qualify you for the competent authority pathway:

• United Kingdom
• Republic of Ireland
• Canada
• United States

If obtaining a post in medicine is your definition of viable then the Competent Authority Pathway is generally considered to be the most viable of the four pathways for international doctors working in Australia.

And the statistics don’t lie.

In 2018 there were 1,045 applications from IMG doctors for provisional registration in Australia with 1,001 of these being granted. That’s a 96% success rate.

If you compare this to the Standard Pathway process which requires you to sit 2 examinations with significant failure rates prior to being able to apply for jobs then the Competent Authority Pathway does sound very viable.

But as you will come to know through this course there are still a number of hurdles and challenges to face.
