Australia’s medical registration system is governed by the Medical Board of Australia and administered by AHPRA. For international medical graduates, the AMC Standard Pathway is the main route to general registration — a two-part assessment combining the AMC CAT MCQ Examination and a clinical assessment, either the AMC Clinical OSCE or a Workplace-Based Assessment. Specialists can also pursue college-facilitated pathways through the relevant Australian Specialist Medical Colleges or the Expedited Specialist Pathway for select specialties. The system is transparent, well-structured, and supported by a clear credential verification process through ECFMG’s EPIC service.
