Q: How do I become an RMO in Australia?

To become an RMO in Australia, you'll first obtain a medical degree. Then, apply for a hospital internship. Post-internship, you can apply for RMO positions. RMO roles offer clinical exposure and further training. Always check with state health departments and the AMC for specific requirements. Additionally, gaining experience through internships and networking with medical professionals can enhance your chances of securing an RMO position.

Q: How much does a registrar make in Australia?

In Australia, a registrar's annual salary generally ranges between AUD$85,000 to $150,000 in 2025. However, earnings can vary based on the medical speciality, state, hospital, and years of experience. Additional allowances for overtime, on-call duties, and regional placements can further influence their remuneration.

Q: Will working as a locum affect my tax status?

Yes, working as a locum means you are essentially a contractor. Your tax structure will be different. In Australia, you will need to provide an Australian Business Number. In New Zealand, you may need to register for GST

Q: Where is the work in Australia?

There are roles available right across Australia. Where the work is depends on your experience and specialty. Many (though certainly not all) locum roles are in rural areas. Overseas-trained doctors are required to work in a rural area of need for a period of time. Lots of doctors we work with love earning extra and exploring the country through locum and permanent placements. You can find out more about our current job listings on the job search page.

Q: Can I work in Australia?

AHPRA registered doctors have lots of opportunities to find permanent and locum work in Australia. Kiwi doctors can work in Australia – you'll need to gain AHPRA registration, and we can assist you in this process. Doctors who gained their primary medical degree overseas are known as International Medical Graduates (IMGs). Ideally, you will have a few years' experience in a comparative health system (like in the UK or Ireland) under your belt. There are a few pathways to work in Australia but it's important to note that there are restrictions on where and how you can work.
