International Medical Graduates (IMG)

Refugee Health Network Queensland (RHNQ) is committed to advocating for International Medical Graduates (IMGs) to seek pathways to practise medicine in Australia.

We regularly monitor opportunities for International Medical Graduates (IMGs) across Queensland and other parts of Australia. We encourage IMGs to explore the current pathways and programs that can assist with gaining clinical experience, meeting registration requirements and navigating the Australian medical system.
