In 2014-15 primary visas were granted to medical practitioners from all over the world (Table 5.2).
Many of those who applied to work in Australia in the 2014-15 program year came from the United Kingdom, Malaysia and India. Just over one-third (34.3%) of primary visas under the three main classes were granted to applicants from the United Kingdom. Just 8.5% and 7.8% of the medical practitioners granted visas came from Malaysia and India respectively.
This continues a recent trend whereby larger numbers of international recruits have come from a number of Asian countries compared to countries such as Canada, the United States of America and the Republic of Ireland. In 2014-15 under a third (29.3%) of all applications were granted to medical practitioners from Malaysia, India, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Iran and Pakistan (8.6%, 7.7%, 4.7%, 3.7%, 2.3% and 2.3% respectively of all visas under subclasses 457 and 402).
Medical practitioners from New Zealand do not require any of these visas to work in Australia.
