The practice of psychiatry in Australia and New
Zealand is very similar to that in any other
westernised country such as the UK or Ireland. As
a rule, evidence based practice is the direction
that clinical medical practice is heading in both
these countries. Australia and New Zealand are
well known for having modern and progressive
protocols and guidelines.
IMR is able to organise RANZCP (Royal
Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists) accredited
placements for doctors wishing to count the term
completed towards their training in their home
country.
IMR has preferred supplier status with many
hospitals in both Australia and New Zealand and so
can offer psychiatrists and psychiatry trainees
the widest choice of positions available. In
addition, IMR representatives have detailed
knowledge about your specialty and can offer
advice on whether you would like to practice in a
hospital which offers opportunities in any of the
psychiatry subspecialties.
