Here at People Medical Consulting we like spreading what we know and giving you a clear pathway to your career. We’re answering a different question each week based on queries raised via our Facebook & Instagram profiles.

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION…?

Do I have to be registered for a full 10 years to complete my moratorium?

No- The ten year moratorium commences on the date of a doctor’s first Australian medical registration and ends exactly ten years later (provided the doctor is a permanent resident or Australian citizen at that time- a Doctor on a visa will remain restricted by 19AB until they get permanent residency). 

The 10 year moratorium does not pause or reset if a doctor is not registered in Australia in the interim.
