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.

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.

Mediix Recruitment is an Australian healthcare recruitment agency specialising in Psychiatry and medical specialist recruitment. We work closely with public hospitals and health services throughout Australia and provide personalised support throughout the entire process, from initial discussions through to relocation and commencement.
