Frequently asked questions
IMG SOS will assess your qualifications and experience to provide personalised advice on whether this pathway aligns with your professional background and goals. Additionally, attempting the Specialist Pathway ensures you explore the most suitable option before considering alternatives.
You can apply to the college immediately after engaging our services, making it the first step in your accreditation journey.
The steps include primary source verification – in which foreign qualifications, either recognised by the state or not, are reviewed here – submitting a detailed application, and attending an interview. While these might seem straightforward, each stage requires careful preparation and adherence to specific guidelines. Our tailored support ensures you meet all requirements efficiently and confidently.
Yes, seeking a job in a regional or remote area can significantly increase your chances of obtaining specialist accreditation. Many regional and remote areas in Australia are designated as Areas of Need, which often provide more opportunities for supervised practice and a streamlined pathway to accreditation. These positions are highly valued and may offer additional incentives, such as faster processing times, greater support, and access to specific programs aimed at addressing workforce shortages in underserved locations.
The Department of Health provides a Health Workforce Locator tool to identify Areas of Need – though in this case, these regions are designated as Districts of Workforce Shortage, and are classified as locations that have poor access to listed specialist practices. We can guide you in using this tool and help you choose the most suitable region for your specialty and career goals.
Yes, it is possible to apply for multiple colleges or pathways, but we recommend focusing on the one most aligned with your qualifications and career goals. We can help you determine the best option.
Not necessarily. Some colleges allow you to submit your application before completing the English test, but the test must be passed before certain stages, such as interviews or accreditation approvals.
The timeline varies depending on the college and your circumstances but generally takes several months. We can provide you with a roadmap to navigate the process efficiently.
IMGSOS will complete your submission within 30 days after receiving all your documents.
After obtaining accreditation, you can seek employment, or explore opportunities for further training and professional development.
You can apply once you’ve received a positive assessment outcome from the medical college and are preparing the required documents. We can assist you with that process too.
Thorough preparation, strong documentation, and a clear understanding of the college’s requirements are key.
Please submit an application, and we will provide you with a detailed offer letter outlining all costs involved.
