Are you a Canadian-trained GP holding the Certification in the College of Family Physicians (CCFP)? If so, you may be closer than you think to starting your medical career in Australia.

We’ve recently supported several Canadian GPs through the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) Comparability Assessment with very positive outcomes. Many CCFP doctors are being assessed as Substantially Comparable, meaning their training and experience are recognised as equivalent to that of an Australian-trained GP at the point of admission to Fellowship. This recognition makes the job search process quicker and smoother, as employers are familiar with this pathway and confident in your ability to transition into practice.

About the PEP Specialist Program

About the PEP Specialist Program

The Practice Experience Program Specialist (PEP SP) is designed for Specialist International Medical Graduates (SIMGs) who hold a recognised overseas general practice qualification, such as the CCFP, and wish to obtain Fellowship of the RACGP (FRACGP) and specialist recognition in Australia. Through the program, you’ll receive structured support and supervision for 6–12 months, helping you transition smoothly into the Australian healthcare system.

Are You Eligible?

Contact us now if you:

  • Hold the Certification in the College of Family Physicians (CCFP).
  • Have at least 18 months of full-time equivalent (FTE) experience working in a general practice setting within the last four years.

How We Can Help

Navigating this process can be confusing and time-consuming. That’s where we come in. We specialise in helping Canadian GPs like you manage the entire process, including:

  • Comparability assessments with RACGP.
  • Securing a role in an eligible location.
  • Visa support and paperwork.
  • Medicare provider number applications.
  • Assistance with your Fellowship and Specialist Registration applications once you’ve completed PEP SP.

Even if you already have your own job offer in Australia, we can take care of everything else! Our goal is to make your move to Australia as smooth as possible, so you can focus on your new career and lifestyle.
