The medical board’s new pathway for overseas specialists not being funded out of doctors’ $1000 registration fee, says AHPRA

Governments will provide AHPRA with almost $2 million to cover the costs and staff required to set up the pathway.

One question raised by the creation of the Medical Board of Australia’s new fast-track pathway for specialist IMGs to work in Australia is who pays.

The board’s activities are generally funded by the doctors themselves through the $1000 a year registration fee they are now charged.
