Podiatry Arena members do not see these ads

Hey recently joined this site to see if it can help me land my dream job as a podiatrist in Australia!

I am currently a 4th year student at Glasgow Caledonian University and i have started looking for jobs more specifically Australia.

I will graduate in July this year and would hopefully like to have a job to start my career off in around the end of July.

Can anyone be of great help and direct me in the right way as to where i can apply for jobs and sponsorship?

Thanks very much

Luke Simpson

Hi Luke,

to podiatry Arena.

You have possibly already searched the 'employment in Australia forum'. If not it's certainly worth a browse:

All the very best in your finals

Regards,

Mandy.

Hi Luke,


I studied in Glasgow, and then headed to Sydney, so we I know where you are coming from.

I would definitely join the podiatry association in the state that you intend to work in, I didn’t at first because professional indemnity was cheaper with the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists for overseas pods, probably not any more though, and I know that they do not insure enough now to treat DVA patients.
You also will find out about conferences, seminars etc.
Anyway, they also advertise jobs monthly.

I suppose you know about doing the exam in oz for national overseas recognition ,NOOSR......I think you maybe can do it in London now, if that is still how it works.

The newspapers also advertise, twice weekly for health professional positions, e.g. The Courier Mail in Brisbane, Sydney Morning Herald.

I am not sure that you would need to get sponsorship because podiatry in itself would lend you enough points to get residency, but that is something that you would need to get checked out with the Australian embassy.

PM me anytime if you like,
I know how exciting it is to be where you are at, all the best with it

Also worth noting, is that you would need to register with the podiatry board in the state that you intend to work,
e.g. The Podiatrists Registration Board in NSW
The Podiatrists Board of Queensland

Plus you would need to get a tax file number before commencing work.

What sort of region in australia do you want to work? Its a pretty big country, with lots of different climates, what sort of area suits you best?

Ye sorry i wasn't too specific as to where in Australia i would like to work. I would like to work in either Queensland or NSW.

Hey Luke

I graduated 2 years ago from caley. You don't need to do an exam to work in Australia but you do need to get your skills recognized by the Australian Podiatry Council (APODC). I'm working in rural victoria on sponsotship visa.

The process is straight forward albeit time consuming. I you would like to start in July i would advise you to get the information you need just now and start applying for jobs just now there are loads going in Australia at the moment especially in rural areas.

Send me a private message i you wish to discuss further
