IMGS assessment process
The IMGS assessment process usually includes:
- A review of documentation to determine whether the applicant is potentially comparable to a FANZCA. Applicants assessed as not comparable will be ineligible to proceed.
- A face-to-face structured interview for applicants assessed as potentially comparable to a FANZCA. The applicant will be interviewed by a panel normally comprising three ANZCA Fellows plus at least one community and/or jurisdictional representative.
- The interview panel will use various criteria to determine whether an IMGS is substantially, partially or not comparable to a FANZCA. The interview panel will also determine what requirements each IMGS must undertake. These requirements may include a period of 12-24 months of upskilling or supervised practice and a workplace based assessment (WBA) or an examination.
- All applicants must participate in the ANZCA Continuing Professional Development program and may be required to address other specific deficiencies determined at the structured interview.
All applicants are advised to read Regulation 23 and the frequently asked questions.
