We welcome applications from Specialist International Graduates (SIMGs); however, are only able to appoint those who have received a determination of ‘Substantially Comparable’ due to the limitation in supervision provisions.

This assessment is crucial for ensuring that all practitioners comply with Australian standards.

Please Note: SIMGs under RACGP or ACRRM supervision period as part of the college assessment process will be placed on a Health Service Medical Practitioner (HSMP) (or as appropriate) contract until Specialist registration is reflected on the AHPRA website.

Recruitment agencies presenting medical practitioners to WACHS must be WACHS approved supplier.
