Supporting Australian Practices and International GPs
Recruiting an international GP is never just about filling a vacancy.
It involves navigating registration pathways, visas, compliance requirements, and timelines that can quickly become complex, especially for practices without dedicated internal support.
In 2025, DXC Medical’s ADMIN+ service supported a number of Australian medical practices by providing end-to-end onboarding and compliance support for international doctors, ensuring both practices and doctors could move forward with confidence.
This snapshot reflects the collective impact ADMIN+ had across Australia last year, supporting practices onboard international GPs across New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and the ACT. From coastal and regional communities such as Port Macquarie and Tura Beach in New South Wales, to Wallan and Shepparton in Victoria, regional hubs like Mackay in Queensland, and established metropolitan locations such as Miranda in Sydney, ADMIN+ helped ensure international GPs were able to commence work smoothly, compliantly, and with confidence.

This support helped international GPs focus on preparing for life and work in Australia, rather than chasing paperwork or navigating unfamiliar processes alone.
Why ADMIN+ Matters in International Recruitment
International recruitment doesn’t stop once a contract is signed.
The success of an international GP placement depends on what happens next, registration, migration, compliance, supervision, and timing.
ADMIN+ exists to manage that critical phase, bringing together practices, doctors, regulators, and timelines to deliver one outcome: an international GP starting work, fully compliant, supported, and set up for long-term success.
In 2025, ADMIN+ helped multiple Australian practices successfully welcome international doctors into their teams, quietly, efficiently, and with confidence.
Looking Ahead
As Australia continues to rely on international doctors to meet patient demand, structured onboarding and compliance support will only become more essential.
ADMIN+ remains focused on doing what it does best: making international GP recruitment simpler, safer, and more sustainable, for practices and for doctors.
