Requirements
Applicants should be registered (or eligible for registration) as a specialist with the Medical Board of Australia and be a Fellow of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (FRANZCP) or equivalent as an overseas trained specialist who has completed their training in either the UK, Ireland, Canada, USA (ABPN certified) or New Zealand.
The Medical Board of Australia implemented a new expedited pathway to specialist registration in December 2024, eliminating the need for a specialist assessment with a specialist medical college for those with an accepted qualification in Psychiatry. The only accepted qualifications are MRCPsych and a Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) after 2007. Now is the time to apply for a new role.
Join Head Medical's online event on Thursday, 29th May 2025, at 7 PM (GMT) to learn about the new expedited specialist pathway and current job opportunities. We will explore what it's like to live and work as a psychiatrist in Australia, including:
- An overview of psychiatry opportunities in Australia
- Insights from an Australian employer
- The registration process and timelines
- A live Q&A
