Visas and immigration
We may appoint an applicant to a clinical position who isn’t an Australian citizen or permanent resident if there aren’t any qualified and experienced people available.
We sometimes sponsor health professionals, but you can also apply for some visas yourself. Read more about visas and sponsorships on the Queensland Health website.
We can recruit international medical graduates under an area of need declaration if we can’t fill positions with Australian or New Zealand trained medical professionals.
Assessment of clinical knowledge and skills
All international medical graduates need to attend a pre-employment structure clinical interview to assess your clinical knowledge and skills.
