When Filipino-trained doctor Dr Jun accepted an exciting opportunity to work in Australia, he was eager to apply his experience and take the next step in his GP career. He looked forward to the professional growth ahead, and to building a more balanced lifestyle.
After successfully passing his Level 1 PESCI, Dr Jun secured a GP position in Townsville, Queensland. However, things didn’t go quite as planned. When his supervisor became unexpectedly unavailable, his transition into Australian general practice became far more complicated than anticipated.
Facing uncertainty and delays that threatened to derail his progress, Dr Jun was referred to DXC Medical for guidance and support. Through our ADMIN+ service, he received the help he needed to overcome the setback and confidently continue his GP journey to Australia.
How ADMIN+ Helped Get Things Back on Track
Through DXC Medical’s ADMIN+ service, Dr Jun received comprehensive, end-to-end support to ensure his GP career stayed on course.
Within one week, Queensland Senior Consultant, Daniel Vinogradac, had secured a new placement that aligned perfectly with Dr Jun’s registration level, meaning he didn’t need to re-sit another PESCI exam. Instead, the process involved submitting a Change of Circumstances application with AHPRA.
Our ADMIN+ compliance team managed every stage of the transfer process, including:
• Coordinating communication between AHPRA, the practice, and the new supervisor
• Processing his PESCI Change of Circumstances and AHPRA registration
• Ensuring visa continuity
• Preparing updated compliance documentation and contract paperwork
• Supporting his relocation from the Philippines to Mackay
Within 1 week Dr Jun had accepted a new GP position with robust supervision plan that was eligible for a PESCI change of circumstances, removing the need to sit another stressful exam.
Thanks to the coordination and expertise provided through ADMIN+, Dr Jun was able to continue his Australian GP journey without having to restart the process. He’s now happily settled in his new role at The Doctors, Mackay, building his patient base and enjoying the lifestyle he’d hoped for. He’s balancing his career with time for reading, cooking, and his new hobby, playing the saxophone.
He plans to develop a special interest in dermatology and continue serving the regional Queensland community he now calls home.
“Think about the lifestyle you want. If you value balance, time for yourself and your family, Australia is the place to be. Without DXC Medical, I would not have been able to achieve this” said Dr Jun

If you’ve ever tried to bring an overseas-trained GP into your practice, you’ll know the process is far from straightforward. Between eligibility checks, visa requirements, medical registration, and relocation logistics, even the most enthusiastic hiring process can quickly hit frustrating roadblocks.
We’re excited to share the story of a husband and wife GP team from Bangladesh who recently moved their family across the world to Charters Towers in regional Queensland. Thanks to a forward-thinking partnership between Gold City Medical Centre and DXC Medical’s ADMIN+ service, not only was their transition possible, it was seamless.
