What organisations are defined as Competent Authorities?
The list of organisations defined by the AMC as Competent Authorities is available at http://www.amc.org.au/index.php/img/ca Q7: If I am a graduate of a medical school approved by the Australian Medical Council, in a country classified as a Competent Authority (ie. UK, Canada, U.S.A, New Zealand and Ireland), do I have to sit the AMC MCQ examination before I am eligible for registration? A: No, if you have been assessed and recognised by the Australian Medical Council as being eligible for the Competent Authority pathway (ie. have a recognised medical qualification and have successfully completed a period of internship) and have been granted a Advanced Standing certificate, then you do not have to sit the AMC examinations.
