How should an employer/sponsor gain District of Workforce Shortage status?
Employers/sponsors must ensure that their vacancy is in an approved district of workforce shortage in order for an overseas trained doctor to obtain access to Medicare rebates in that vacancy. This process is administered by the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing. Recruitment agencies will be able to advise employers/sponsors on how to meet this requirement. Further information on obtaining District of Workforce Shortage approval can be found on DoctorConnect.
