* Please note that if you are an Australian Resident/Citizen, then you will require a 3GA program to be able to access Medicare. The program we recommend to commence under until you're eligible to join a GP training program is MDRAP. Be aware that each state has different processes and processing times. For example, the average time to process MDRAP in Victoria is 3 months, where as the time to process MDRAP in QLD is 1 week.
​
WHAT ARE THE COSTS?
The costs are dependent based on what you require. You will be required to pay for your PESCI, your AHPRA application and registration fees as well as any migration fees as well.
​
Our team will support you by providing administrative services in preparing your PESCI, AHPRA and Medicare paperwork. We have a qualified Migration Lawyer to support your visa needs.
​
Our administrative and migration services do come at a cost, which may be covered by you or your supervising practice. We'll get your preference before you start the program with us, and we will match you with a suitable Supervisor accordingly.
You'll be provided a full cost breakdown before you officially commence the program.
​
IF I CHOOSE TO PAY MY OWN WAY, WHEN DO I NEED TO PAY?
Our invoices are spread out across the 6 - 9 months that it will take to have you registered and settled in Australia.
-
The first invoice will be issued after you've signed a contract with a Supervisor, so we can prepare the PESCI documents.
-
The second will be issued once you've passed your PESCI, so we can prepare the AHPRA documents.
-
The third invoice will be issued after AHPRA has approved your application, so we can prepare your Medicare documents.
​
Subsequent optional invoices may be issued if you choose to accept our support with your ongoing AHPRA requirements such as WRIG-30 submissions and FSP applications.
