Five Year IMG Recruitment Scheme

The Five Year International Medical Graduate Recruitment Scheme is an important incentive program for international doctors.

The Scheme supports international medical graduates (IMGs) to work in Australia’s rural and remote communities.

When you complete the Scheme you can apply for an unrestricted provider number allowing you to choose where you work in Australia.

The Five Year IMG Recruitment Scheme is an initiative of the Australian Government and is managed by RDWA in South Australia.

When you are on the Five Year IMG Scheme, you need to:

  • Work in an eligible rural town for the time required by the Scheme
  • Complete your Fellowship; and
  • Apply for permanent residency.

The Five Year IMG Recruitment Scheme Guidelines provide all the detail – and our Recruitment Team will help you understand what they mean for you.

Eligibility

You need to apply for the Scheme as soon as you can, so that your time working in the location can be counted.
