What is an area of need and how should employers/sponsors gain area of need certification?
Area of need is defined differently across the various Australian states and territories. Employers/sponsors must obtain area of need certification in order for overseas trained doctors to meet immigration and medical registration requirements. This process is administered by the state and territory health departments. Recruitment agencies will be able to advise employers/sponsors on how to meet this requirement.
