Current Data
In 2014-15, there were 2,820 primary visas granted to medical practitioners across the main subclasses – 457, 422 and 442/402 (Table 5.1).
The overall number of visas granted to medical practitioners in 2014-15 remains only marginally higher than the lowest level of grants for the past decade (2,650 in 2013-14), and 12.4% less than in 2010-11 (3,220), just five years earlier.
The trend in the types of visas issued over this period has altered dramatically. The bulk of those (2,540 or 89.9%) being granted are now under subclass 457. This reflects the phasing out of visa subclass 422, with the numbers decreasing to zero from 2011-12 from a high of 1,380 visas issued in 2005-06.
