Question

Can a Russian doctor- paediatrician work in Australia?

Answer 1

Yes, provided your qualifications can be recognised here and you can pass our points test and meet health, character and English language requirements.

Australia has a shortage of doctors and our government is strongly encouraging medical practioners to come here to work. Your application will receive priority processing if you can meet the other requirements.

See: http://www.immi.gov.au/asri/occupations/... regarding recognition of your qualifications.
