Anyone is looking to register and work in Australia?

Dear all,

I am thinking of going over to Australia next summer and practice there. Just printed off the registration information booklet from the APC. Seems to me there are a lot of documents to submit. Anyone going through the same process? Would love to talk.

Has been something I have been thinking about increasingly recently. Whereabouts are you thinking of working, and I presume you have been before ?

Hi Nik, I am thinking of going to Melbourne. Been there for a holiday and love it. But I think there is an oversupply of Pharmacists over there at the moment so finding a job might be difficult. I am going for it regardless now. So, just gathering all the necessary documents at the moment and it will take a while! Do you think you will eventually?

Well for me the temptation to move to Oz/NZ has been in my mind for a while. At the moment I'm happy here but if I do decide to go it will be before I have kids, start a family etc. Some of the ads for hospital pharmacists did look appealing though ! Let me know how you get on with the application process.

Hi Nick, where do you see the ad for the hospital pharmacists jobs? I am a hospital pharmacist so getting a hospital job there will be my dream!

From looking at some of the ads, general job role, working hrs, and on-call seem pretty similar.
