Any authentic recruitment agency for doctors and medical registrars?

Hello and good day everyone,

Does anyone know of any authentic and legal recruitment agencies for overseas doctors who want to work in Australia??
My sister is a doctor and is very very interested in migrating to Australia BUT the skill assessment procedure for doctors is so long and tough, that she was wondering if there is any other way in like on a 457 and then getting AMC certification while in Australia??

I know of the Area of need path but the procedure is again so complicated or maybe its me who is unable to understand.
Also, any migration agents who specialize in doctor's migration .. with whom we can consult and really understand the different pathways that might be available for doctors. (I suspect that it cant be as IMPOSSIBLE as WE think it is).

Thanks a lot for reading .. looking forward to hearing something that would help us

Please don't bump threads. You may have more luck asking in the main Australia forum about agencies. She may just have to accept that she has to go through the process. The immigration process is not a simple one, no matter which profession is involved!

There are quite a few recruitment companies...
Imrmedical.com
Skilledmedical.com
Medacs.com.au
Medipeople.com.au
Plexusrecruitment.com.au
and no doubt more.

I got my job through a small Brisbane based company powerrecruitment.com.au
They (like most of the agencies) have a MARA registered migration agent, so delt with sorting out the visa. It's in their interest to help you with all the paperwork as they earn a tidy sum of money for getting doctors over here.

I had to come over on a 457 as I've not got specialist qualification yet. Once I had the AMC certficate and general medical registration I sorted out my own PR visa (175). I've met quite a few people who move / work here before having the AMC certificate. Fortunately as a UK grad I escaped the AMC exam.
