If you wish to apply to migrate to Australia as a Medical Physicist under the General Skilled Migration categories, you must have a skills assessment from ACPSEM to include with your migration application to Australia's Department of Immigration and Citizenship. You need to be aware that successfully migrating to Australia as a Medical Physicist is no guarantee of membership of ACPSEM, to employment as a Medical Physicist in Australia, to inclusion on any current or future list of registered Medical Physicists, or to acceptance into any accreditation program for a sub-discipline of Medical Physics, nor does it imply that ACPSEM considers that you are competent in a particular sub-discipline of Medical Physics. For full details of the assessment procedure and the application form, please go to Documents and Forms on the right. To request hard copies of these documents, or to seek advice on applying for a migration skills assessment, contact: Louise Weston, ACPSEM Please direct all queries relating to migration to the Department of Immigration and Citizenship.

For information about occupations which relates to employment as well as migration see the Australian Skills Recognition Information website at http://www.immi.gov.au/asri/. IMPORTANT: ACPSEM exists to promote and further the development of the physical sciences and engineering as applied to medicine in Australia and New Zealand. However, it is not an assessing authority for any engineering occupations. If you think your qualifications and experience may be more appropriate to the occupation Engineer - Biomedical Engineer (ASCO Code 2129-15), you should seek advice from the assessing authority for engineering occupations, Engineers Australia.
