Description
Summary:The annual quota of candidates who can sit the multiple choice examination and proceed to the clinical examination is 200 on the basis of performance in the multiple choice examination. Because of the complexity of gaining unconditional registration, most graduates from medical schools outside Australasia opt for the alternative of registration with conditions. The Australian High Commission in London can advise on temporary work permits and migrant entry (see box). Because of the oversupply of doctors in Australia, it is unlikely that someone would be allowed to work in the country on a temporary or permanent basis without sponsorship from a prospective employer.
