Sorry mate,

No help at all, but I'm an Ex Pat JP if that's near enough (lol)

I'm sure you'll get loads of slightly more useful repiles !!

Good luck,

Alan.

Dont know about WA but are you sure you dont want to come to ACT? - we are in dire need of GPs (lovely place, nice people, good infrastructure blah blah blah - just a GP drought along with the normal rainless drought)

No...We need GPs here in WA, too.

Try Ozzidoc, though I think she qualified out here.

I have a friend who retired as a GP in the UK and has now come out of retirement to work as a GP in rural health here up in two Aboriginal communities. he does 2 weeks on and 4 to 6 weeks off and loves it, i thi nk he finds it more interesting than being a GP in the UK. he got all his registration very quickly and these rural areas are in dire need of Doctors. Someone may correct me if i am wrong but i think normally as an immigrant doctor you will have to work in an area of unmet need for a couple of years.

We need you in Victoria.

On the Peninsula where I live in Melbourne they cannot get gps to come one practice in Hastings as been trying for a couple of years and its a lovely area and easy to travel from Red Hill, Shoreham etc.

I think there is a doc on another forum who has just arrived.

Have to say though that there are a lot of Brit doctors here now.

Ozziedoc is Australian who moved to the US and trained in Southern California.

Come to Tassie!

I can't get registered with a GP here, have tried seven medical centres, working my way through the phone book now!

Good luck

Do a search for mvt550 and send him a PM. He is a UK GP who moved to NSW. Should still be able to tell you about the process etc.
