We welcome applications from Specialist International Graduates (SIMGs); however, are only able to appoint those who have received an outcome determination of 'substantially comparable' due to the limitation in supervision provisions. Those who have not applied to RACP for a Specialist Assessment will be placed on hold and not assessed until the RACP determination can be provided.

Please note: In line with the requirements of the Medical Board of Australia Registration Standards: Specialist Registration, it is a breach of National Law for practitioners to use the protected 'Specialist' title if they do not hold specialist registration with AHPRA. SIMGs who complete a supervision period with RACP as part of the specialists assessment process cannot be appointed to a consultant specialist position with VenuesWest until the practitioner holds specialist registration and it is reflected on the AHPRA website.
