    I am Dr. Suranga Yogananda, Medical Practitioner in Sri Lanka with 4 years of clinical experience in Emergency Medicine, Pediatrics, Obstetrics & Gynecology and Anesthesiology. AMC Part 1 certified with top 25% performance in key domains. Certified ALS, APLS and NLS provider and BLS instructor. Proficient in managing medical and surgical emergencies, leading resuscitation teams, and multidisciplinary team collaboration.

    I’m keenly interested in Medical Officer positions in Australia, preferably in Perth, where I aim to further develop my clinical skills and contribute effectively to the local healthcare system.

    Hi Dr. Suranga,

    Welcome to the forum and thank you for your question 🙂

    It’s great to hear about your experience and interest in working as a Medical Officer in Australia. Since you’ve already passed AMC Part 1, your next steps could include:

    1. AMC Part 2 & Clinical Experience – Completing AMC Part 2 will improve your chances of securing a job. However, some employers may offer positions under supervision while you prepare.

    2. Work Visa Options – If you secure a job offer, you might be eligible for a 482 (Temporary Skill Shortage) visa or a 186 (Employer Nomination Scheme) visa. Some regional positions may also qualify for a 491 or 494 visa.

    3. Job Search – You can explore visa-sponsored roles on https://482jobs.com (all jobs there offer sponsorship), as well as https://seek.com.au and https://indeed.com.au.

    4. AHPRA Registration – You’ll need to apply for registration with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). You can check the requirements here: https://www.ahpra.gov.au.

    5. Networking & Resume – Optimising your LinkedIn profile and resume for Australian employers can increase your chances of getting noticed. Here’s a helpful guide on Australian resumes: https://482jobs.com/australia-resume-tips-craft-winning-resume/.

    I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.

    All the best

    Mark
