Overseas Trained Doctors
If you received your primary medical training in an overseas country and do not have unconditional registration in Australia, Rural Health West can help you through the application and assessment processes, provide you with a comprehensive orientation and can offer attractive financial incentives in most cases.
If you decide to stay long-term in rural Western Australia, Rural Health West can also assist you to join the Five Year Overseas Trained Doctor Scheme.
Currently Rural Health West does not sponsor doctors. If you require sponsorship information please vist the following websites:
