Due to ongoing workforce shortages, the Australian Government has changed the Pathway for UK GPs to relocate Down Under Via the Expediated Specialist Pathway.
HCA is working closely with the Government and Clinics to enable a smooth and fast transition for those GPs interested in making the switch.
Many of the HCA supported clinics are based in thriving locations in and around large Metropolitan cities of Sydney, Melbourne & Brisbane (Olympics 2032).
