Why UK-based doctors love Wavelength

I never made a better move. I received prompt and personal representation backed by the broad array of Wavelength's resources. They found me the right job in the right place, and negotiated the visa, licensing, health insurance, and tax planning minefields.

Dr John Maxwell

Consultant Radiologist

Moving countries is understandably stressful and I remember having so many uncertainties, the team was able to contain that anxiety professionally and provided succinct and accurate expectations and suggestions at the time of my application.

Dr Kelvin Leung

Psychiatry Registrar

I made the move to Tasmania in 2012 with the support of Wavelength. They helped me navigate the move to Australia and were happy to address any issues as they arose, which was invaluable.

Video Series: what it’s really like for a doctor to relocate to Australia

In this video series we answer common questions doctors ask us about migrating to, and living and working in Australia. We’ve broken these videos down into bite-sized chunks, so you can watch them all in one go, or as you find time across your busy day. In one, we share the experiences of a doctor who has made the move already, and in the other, we delve into the nuts and bolts around the process of migrating to Australia.

Dr Buxton

Hear from a doctor who has made the move and never looked back

In this video Dr Buxton explains how he built a career and lifestyle in the Australian outback, far from his native Scotland. As a GP working in remote communities, his experience is unique, but the lessons he learned along the way are helping other UK-based doctors plan their own journey. We’ve broken this video down into seven snippets, so you can watch in any order that works for you.
