Common visa routes for GPs
- Employer-sponsored temporary work visas
- Regional and skilled visa options
- Permanent skilled visas for those who qualify
- Partner visas, where relevant
The right option depends on your registration pathway, the practice, the location and your personal circumstances.
Practice sponsorship
Some Australian practices offer visa sponsorship. Whether sponsorship is available depends on the role, the practice's accreditation as a sponsor, and your eligibility. Not every practice sponsors; not every role does either.
Family members
Most work visas allow eligible family members to be included. Check the requirements for partners, children and other dependants when planning your move.
Getting formal advice
Migration is regulated in Australia. Formal advice should come from a registered migration agent or an Australian legal practitioner. We can introduce you to trusted specialists if you'd like a starting point.
We can't give migration advice or guarantee visa outcomes, but we can help align your job search with a visa pathway that makes sense.
