"In the past the boards have been prepared to accept the judgement of the sponsoring employer as regards the capacity of OTDs to practice on a provisional basis. This has been so whether the OTDs are permanent residents and have not yet passed the AMC exams or whether they have been appointed on temporary entry visas. The boards have been unwilling to defy the pressure from state health department to give priority to their supply concerns. This may be about to change. As indicated, the medical boards and the state health departments participated in a Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing review of assessment standards of OTDs during 2005 and 2006. The review recommended that the AMC develop the medical knowledge test described above. During 2007 a sub-committee of this review, which included Medical Registration Board membership, continued to meet. It recommended the establishment of the competent authority pathway noted above, which is in the process of implementation. The sub-committee also recommended that a medical knowledge test be required from July 2008 for all other OTDs, including occupational trainees. "

"Doctors please note: From 1st July 2008 we cannot present a general practitioner - ( without FRACGP) for consideration by any Medical Board until the AMC part 1 has been successfully completed."
