Yes, but only if your supervisor is NOT seeing their own patients.

A supervisor who does not see their own patients while supervising IMGs may supervise more than one IMG who has Level 1 supervision however; it is still up to a maximum of four IMGs.

Please note that if your supervisor is intending on supervising more than one IMG on Level 1 supervision then a proposal needs to be supplied.

What if my supervisor is still seeing their own patients?

If they are, then they will not be able to supervise more than one Level 1 IMG.

Your supervisor is allowed one IMG on Level 1 supervision and up to three other IMGs providing they are Levels 2, 3, or 4 supervision. Your supervisor cannot supervise any more than four IMGs.

What if my supervisor currently has an IMG on Level 1, but that IMG should be on Level 2 by the time I start?

There is never any guarantee that an IMG will be granted a supervision level increase. AHPRA will not take this into consideration when assessing your case, they will assume the IMG will continue on Level 1 supervision.
