"INFORMATION REGARDING CONDITIONAL REGISTRATION APPLICATIONS FROM 1 JULY 2008"

Conditional registration information which is currently available on the Medical Board's website is under review in light of the implementation of national registration. Accordingly, this information will be subject to amendment.

International Medical Graduates ("IMGs") who are not eligible to apply for registration under the Competent Authority or Specialist Pathway may apply for registration via the Standard Pathway.

From 1 July 2008, IMGs who apply for conditional registration via the Standard Pathway through the Medical Board of Western Australia must successfully complete the AMC Multiple Choice Exam ("MCQ") before conditional registration can be considered.

Please contact the Medical Board's Registration Project Officer on (08) 6380 3500 if you have any queries.

Overview
The principal aim of the Medical Board is to ensure that the people of Western Australia receive the highest possible standard of medical care through the fair and effective administration of the Medical Act. This aim is achieved by ensuring that appropriate standards of entry onto the Medical Register are maintained, and that instances of misconduct, incompetence, or impairment are dealt with in a timely and appropriate manner.
