About Access to Practice

Good clinicians make good moves for good reasons. My job is to help you work out whether Australia is that move, and if it is, to get you to an employer worth working for.

I'm a physio first

I've worked in community, paediatrics, inpatients and ICU, in government roles and in rural hospitals, and I've been a senior physio responsible for other clinicians.

Then I ran services

I was the inaugural director of a hospital, hiring nurse practitioners, nurses, physios, doctors and rural generalists. I stood up a hospital avoidance service with a 34-person team of doctors, nurses and allied health. Today I run a multi-site paediatric allied health practice in South East Queensland, and several of our clinicians came to us from overseas.

Why recruitment, and why like this

I've sat on the hiring side with recruiters and locums, and I've walked overseas clinicians through working holiday and Skills in Demand visas alongside registered migration agents. So when you talk to me, you're talking to someone who knows what the job is actually like, what different employers need, and what makes a move work. You're talking to a physio and a service operator, not a sales team.

What we don't do

• We don't give visa advice ourselves. Registered migration agents do that, and we work alongside them.
• We don't promise jobs, visas, registration or timelines. Ahpra, Speech Pathology Australia and Home Affairs make those decisions.
• We don't push you towards an employer we wouldn't work for.

Family

At home, I've got four kids and my wife is a nurse, so I know what a big move means for a family. I'd rather help one clinician make a good move than rush five into the wrong ones.

General information only, not migration or legal advice. Visa advice should come from a registered migration agent (we work alongside them). Registration decisions are made by Ahpra and the professional bodies, not by us. Fees and rules change: check the linked official source before you rely on a figure.
