Make the Move to Australia – Sunshine, Lifestyle and Great Career Opportunities

Are you a Consultant Psychiatrist in the UK or Ireland considering a new challenge and a better work-life balance? We are working with multiple public health services across Australia and are seeking Psychiatrists across all subspecialties to join well-supported teams in metropolitan, coastal and regional locations.

With the introduction of Australia's Expedited Specialist Pathway last year, relocating has never been easier.

Why Australia?

Australia offers a unique combination of professional opportunities and an exceptional lifestyle. Whether you are looking for vibrant cities, tropical Queensland, stunning beaches, world-class food and wine regions, or family-friendly coastal communities, there is something for everyone.

Enjoy:

  • Warm weather and sunshine throughout most of the year
  • Beautiful beaches and outdoor lifestyle
  • Excellent schools and family-friendly communities
  • Generous annual leave and professional development allowances
  • Supportive multidisciplinary teams
  • Strong focus on work-life balance
  • Opportunities across metropolitan, coastal and regional areas
  • Permanent residency pathways and relocation support available with many employers

We are currently recruiting for Consultant Psychiatrists in:

  • General Adult Psychiatry
  • Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
  • Old Age Psychiatry
  • Consultation Liaison Psychiatry
  • Community Psychiatry
  • Inpatient Psychiatry
  • Forensic Psychiatry
  • Addiction Psychiatry
  • Rehabilitation Psychiatry
  • Emergency Psychiatry
  • Intellectual Disability Psychiatry

Positions are available across Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania and the Northern Territory.

Expedited Specialist Pathway

Australia's Expedited Specialist Pathway provides a streamlined route to specialist registration for eligible Psychiatrists.

Eligible applicants include consultants holding specialist qualifications from:

  • United Kingdom (CCT with GMC Specialist Registration)
  • Ireland (CSCST with Irish Medical Council Specialist Registration)

This pathway significantly reduces waiting times and avoids lengthy assessment processes previously required.

What We Offer

  • Competitive salaries from approximately AUD $300,000 to $500,000+ depending on location and experience
  • Additional allowances, on-call payments and salary packaging benefits
  • Relocation assistance available
  • Professional development leave and CME allowances
  • Visa sponsorship for you and your family members
  • Dedicated support throughout the registration, visa and relocation process

Eligibility

You may be eligible if you:

  • Hold specialist qualifications in Psychiatry from the UK or Ireland.
  • Are registered on the GMC Specialist Register or Irish Medical Council Specialist Division.
  • Have completed your specialist training and are currently practising independently as a Consultant Psychiatrist.
  • Are interested in relocating to Australia within the next 4–8 months.

About Us
