Every year, radiology professionals from around the world choose to work and live in Australia, due to the exceptional career opportunities and lifestyle on offer. Due to strong population growth, the need for accessible radiology services is also fast growing and qualified medical imaging professionals are in high demand.

Private Practice Employment

Private Practices throughout Australia can provide long-term career opportunities for overseas trained professionals and Radiologists can often become a partner of a medical imaging group. Many private radiology practices are state-of-the-art and at the forefront of leading technology. In addition, many of these practices have strong financial backing, excellent support staff and undergo regular reviews and upgrades.

Public Practice Employment

For those preferring a hospital based role, there’s plenty of employment opportunities with Public Practices to choose from. Many employers provide the opportunity to be involved in teaching and development with the possibility of a hospital fellowship for Radiologists. There’s also advanced training options and sub-specialisation in the public system, that might be difficult to acquire working at a private practice.
