Service Pricing
- On PEP Pathway: The Overseas Registration Package costs $12,000 plus GST. To initiate this service, 50% of this fee is due now with the remaining 50% due within 6 months.
(If the GP changes their mind and no longer requires the service, payment of the second instalment of $6000 is not required, however we require 14 days notice prior to the 6 month anniversary of the service.) - On AHPRA Expedited Pathway: The overseas Registration Package costs $6000 plus GST. From late October 2024 we will offer support with the new AHPRA expedited specialist pathway.
(It is anticipated that GPs will require less support with this option, hence the lower fee.)

FAQs
What pathway does the Overseas Registration Service cover?
From the 21st of October 2024, it will cover both the PEP Specialist Pathway with the RACGP with different pricing.
If a candidate already has the RACGP assessment, is there a reduction in the fee?
For GPs who have already completed Part A with the RACGP and have been found to be partially or substantially comparable, they are likely to need only 6 months of support. Therefore, only the first payment of $6,000 is required.
How long does it typically take for a GP to be ready to work in Aus?
For the PEP pathway, the duration is between 9 and 12 months, depending on how organised and responsive the GP is with the paperwork requirements. For the AHPRA expedited pathway, we anticipate it will be between 3 and 5 months however since this is a new service, this is only an estimate.
Can we provide support for the new AHPRA expedited specialist pathway?
Yes, once the details are released in late October 2024. We only anticipate 6 months of support will be required, so the fee will just be AU$6,000.
Are Migration Services included?
Can we provide support for the new AHPRA expedited specialist pathway?
Need more information? Book a 15 minute consultation and talk to our Registration Specialist Megan about this service.
Most practices choose to offer 482 Visas to GPs, and we are able to provide basic support for standard immigration. Basic support is provided to the GP if they choose to accept the offer of a 482 Visa. For complex migration issues, additional fees may sometimes be required. The complexity is more likely to be on the candidate’s side, and it may be a cost the GP has to bear.
