Consultant Opportunities in General Medicine & General Paediatrics
Australia Expedited Specialist Registration from January 2026
Australia has officially opened a new fast-track pathway to specialist registration for internationally trained General Physicians and General Paediatricians and its a genuine game-changer.
From 19 January 2026 eligible doctors can apply directly to the Medical Board of Australia bypassing the traditional full college assessment process and moving straight toward consultant-level practice.
This pathway is designed for doctors trained in comparable health systems and removes one of the biggest barriers to working in Australia.
Who Can Apply
General Paediatrics
You may be eligible if you hold:
- UK: MRCPCH CCT (awarded from August 2007 onwards)
- Ireland: MRCPI (Paeds) CSCST (from July 2010 onwards)
- Recent experience in general paediatrics is required
General Medicine
You may be eligible if you hold:
- UK: MRCP(UK) CCT in:
- General Internal Medicine (from August 2007) or
