NHHRC submission from an IMG.

An international medical graduate (IMG), or overseas-trained doctor (OTD) in old non-PC speak, has made a submission to the National Health and Hospitals Reform Commission. She has generously allowed us to post the story of her own perspective on the GP workforce shortage.
Take note of the bureaucratic red-tape that has caused her to suffer a period even longer than the obligatory ten years before she has access to an unrestricted provider number.

You can download and read it at NHHRCIMGsubmission.pdf

P.S. If you have not yet signed our e-Petition, please consider doing so. It can be found HERE.
