Can I do an internship in Australia as an IMG?

The Australian internship system is reserved for graduates of Australian (and NZ) medical schools — IMGs typically apply for Resident Medical Officer roles instead.

The Australian internship system is largely off-limits to anyone other than a graduate from an Australian (or New Zealand) medical school — including international students who studied in Australia.

IMG doctors generally cannot apply for intern programs or internships in Australia.

What you're probably looking for instead

In most cases, IMGs are not actually looking for an Internship — they're looking for a Resident Medical Officer (RMO) job under the Standard Pathway.
