Meet Dr. Nadia Farooq*

When working as a full-time GP in Dubai, Dr. Nadia Farooq* began planning her long-term move to Australia. With an MRCGP (INT) qualification and a strong clinical background, she was determined to secure a position that allowed her to contribute meaningfully while continuing her professional growth in Australia.

Instead of waiting until relocation, she chose to take a proactive approach—starting the PEP Specialist Pathway application while still working overseas. That’s when she engaged Medvin Health for expert guidance from start to finish.

The Challenge: Making an International Transition Seamless

Despite her solid background, Dr. Nadia knew that successfully navigating RACGP and AHPRA requirements from overseas would require precision, planning, and professional support.

Her key concerns were:

• Understanding PEP Specialist Pathway eligibility as an MRCGP (INT) holder
• Ensuring her application was college-compliant and complete despite being offshore
• Securing an approved job offer that met RACGP’s location and supervision requirements
• Navigating AHPRA Limited Registration remotely, with no room for delays

Step 1: Eligibility Review & Strategic Roadmap

• Assessed her MRCGP (INT) credentials and UAE-based work experience
• Confirmed her strong suitability for the RACGP PEP Specialist Pathway
• Designed a tailored action plan to complete all steps from abroad

Dr. Nadia moved forward with clarity, knowing exactly what to do and when.

Step 2: Comparability Application Support

• Prepared her comparability application to RACGP with detailed documentation
• Structured her CV, scope of practice, and references to meet college expectations
• Ensured all elements of the application reflected her active clinical practice

A high-quality application submitted with full confidence from offshore.

Step 3: Job Search & Practice Approval

• Sourced suitable GP positions in MMM 2–7 areas to meet RACGP’s practice eligibility
• Tailored her CV and cover letter to each opportunity
• Supported her through the employer selection process and RACGP job approval submission

Successfully secured an RACGP-approved role before arriving in Australia.

Step 4: AHPRA Limited Registration

• Coordinated her entire registration process while she was still in Dubai
• Reviewed all documentation to ensure smooth submission
• Provided clear timelines and guidance on ID verification, practice documents, and compliance

AHPRA Limited Registration granted without delays—ready to start work on arrival.

The Results: A Strategic, Smooth Entry into Australian General Practice

• RACGP Comparability Approved
• PEP-Approved GP Role Secured
• AHPRA Registration Granted
• Commenced Work as a GP in Australia Without Delay

Dr. Nadia stepped into her new role fully prepared—with every milestone completed in advance and nothing left to chance.

In His Own Words

“I wanted to move to Australia in a structured and well-prepared way—and Medvin Health made that possible. They helped me handle the entire PEP process step by step. When I arrived, I already had a job offer, RACGP approval, and registration sorted. It was seamless. I can’t thank them enough.”
