Abstract

The Australian and New Zealand health systems are both heavily reliant on international medical graduates (IMGs) to meet workforce demands. In that context, those responsible for deciding whether or not to register IMGs to practise must balance the need to ensure the quality and acceptability of medical services against the requirement that these services remain available and accessible. This paper examines and compares the approaches that have been taken in Australia and New Zealand in this area from 2000 to 2012 and the impacts of that decision-making on public protection and the wider public interest.
