Specialist Psychiatry Assessments in Australia

The AMC Specialist (full recognition) Pathway is intended for Specialist International Medical Graduates (SIMGs) who wish to practice independently in Australia.  The College refers to this as the Dual Pathway as applicants can be dually assessed for suitability for employment in an Area of Need (AON).  The process of being assessed for specialist assessment (Fellowship) and suitability for employment in an Australian AON are very similar and have been combined in line with the COAG nationally consistent assessment of IMGs. 

All applications for specialist assessment must be made through the AMC.  The AMC review the applicant’s documentation to ensure they are eligible to proceed to assessment.  Information on this process is available on the AMC Website.  Once the AMC has verified the application, it is forwarded to the College to assess.
