DO I QUALIFY FOR A 19AB SPOUSAL EXEMPTION AS A GP?

To qualify for a 19AB spousal exemption, both you and your spouse must meet specific criteria. We often engage with GPs who have been assured by practice managers or inexperienced recruiters that they are eligible for a 19AB spousal exemption, only to discover later that they do not meet the requirements. At Doctoru, we have a strong track record of successfully obtaining approval for 19AB exemptions. Contact us for further information.

Here are a few common questions about 19AB spousal exemptions:

02

CAN I GET PRIOR APPROVAL?

Regrettably, a conclusive response is unattainable until you have submitted an application for a particular position at a specific site. For general practitioners relocating from abroad, the exemption can only be pursued once you have obtained full registration with AHPRA and your visa has been sanctioned.

03

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO PROCESS MY APPLICATION?

To apply for a spousal exemption, there is a significant amount of paperwork required, and typically, it takes 8-10 weeks for processing after we have submitted the entire application.

04

DO I NEED TO BE MARRIED OR DO DEFACTO RELATIONSHIPS COUNT?

You can either be married, in a defacto relationship or in a same-sex relationship.

05

DO I NEED TO BE ON A SPOUSAL VISA?

No, you only need to be eligible for a 19AB exemption.

06

DOES MY SPOUSE HAVE TO WORK IN A SPECIFIC FIELD?

Your partner is required to seek employment in a field identified as experiencing a shortage of skilled workers by the immigration department. Presently, there is a wide range of occupations included in this list, making it relatively easy for the majority of individuals to fulfill this specific criterion.

07
