Pathways · General registration
Australian or New Zealand graduates
Use the graduate registration process for doctors with an approved Australian or New Zealand medical degree.
The idea
Doctors with an approved Australian or New Zealand primary medical degree apply via the graduate route.
How it works
Ahpra checks your degree, internship and registration history.
You may be able to apply for general registration, or a period of provisional registration and further approved supervised practice. Australian or New Zealand graduates who completed an internship in another country must complete approved supervised practice in Australia before becoming eligible for general registration.
If you trained as a specialist overseas
Your specialist qualification is assessed separately if you want Australian specialist registration.
