Need help understanding your pathway?

If you decide to leave the clinic, you can sign a statutory declaration or sign a written statement that allows another IMG to take over that exemption and work in a Non-DPA Area.
The statutory declaration or written statement needs to state that you have closed your Provider number and do not intend to return to the area to practice whilst inside of your moratorium.
For example, signing a declaration stating you do not intend to return to the Joondalup area does not mean you cannot work in the city of Wanneroo, just the DPA catchment as shown on the Health Workforce Locator.
This is the Joondalup DPA Catchment Area. Once you leave, you cannot go back to the area highlighted in dark blue.
This is the Wanneroo DPA Catchment Area. However, you can work in the area highlighted in dark blue since it is not part of the DPA catchment area that you stated to not go back to.
