Doctors from overseas such as the UK and Ireland are known as International Medical Graduates (IMGs) All IMG Doctors need to have their medical qualifications and experience time assessed and recognised in order to work in Australia.

Doctors from the UK and Ireland who have MRCGP can work seamlessly in Australia after completing a period of supervision and must work in a District Priority Area (DPA).
