At Med Migration, we go beyond basic migration representation for healthcare professionals. Unlike general migration services, we specialise exclusively in visas for healthcare practitioners and allied health professionals, giving us a distinct edge in understanding the industry’s unique challenges and opportunities.
Our solutions are tested and proven with healthcare professionals, ensuring reliable and strategic pathways to employment and migration. We stay up to date with immigration law changes, especially those affecting Australia’s healthcare sector and workforce shortages, allowing us to fast-track processes where possible.
What truly sets us apart is our deep industry knowledge. While most migration agents focus only on visa applications, we also understand the accreditation process, a crucial step for healthcare professionals. Our affiliation with medical accreditation bodies allows us to guide candidates through the registration and credentialing process, a service that most migration agents simply don’t offer.
Furthermore, our recognition by the Australian Medical Council (AMC) is a testament to our trust and credibility in the industry. We provide a holistic approach, supporting healthcare professionals not just with visas, but also with recruitment, registration, and career guidance, ensuring a smooth transition into the Australian healthcare system.
With Med Migration, you’re not just securing a visa—you’re setting up a solid foundation for your career in Australia.
The duration of the visa application process can vary significantly depending on the type of visa and individual circumstances. Generally, it can take anywhere from a few months to over a year. At IMGSOS Migrate, we streamline the process by ensuring that your application is complete and accurate, which helps avoid delays. We keep you informed at every step, providing clear timelines and updates.
We specialise in visas for healthcare and allied health professionals, including:
• Employer-sponsored visas (e.g., Subclass 482, 186, 494)
• General skilled migration visas (e.g., Subclass 189, 190, 491)
• Temporary and permanent residency pathways
• Training and short-term visas for healthcare professionals
• Spousal and student visas
• Other visa options based on individual circumstances
It depends on your visa type and pathway. Some visas require full registration, while others allow you to apply while completing accreditation steps. Med Migration assesses your qualifications and guides you through the necessary registration processes, ensuring you meet both immigration and industry requirements.
We stay up to date with law changes and understand how workforce shortages impact visa processing. Our specialisation in healthcare migration allows us to navigate priority processing options and streamline applications to avoid unnecessary delays.
Areas of Need” refer to locations in Australia facing a shortage of healthcare professionals. If you are willing to work in these areas, you may have access to priority visa processing, employer sponsorship opportunities, and potential exemptions from certain registration or immigration requirements. Med Migration helps identify high-demand locations and matches professionals with suitable job opportunities to maximise their visa options and career prospects.
