South African Radiographers and Sonographers Employment in Australia

The destination of choice for South African radiographers and sonographers wanting a working holiday, short term employment or to migrate is Australia. This is due to a fantastic outdoor lifestyle, our cultural similarities such as a love of sport and modern community. This is also due to Australia having such high standards in medical imaging with great quality equipment and work conditions. Radiography and sonography in Australia, with its mix of private and public facilities, is very similar to South African practice. In Australia there is at present a shortage of qualified technologists, however finding a position with the conditions and remuneration you desire, in a location that suits you, is no easy job.

In Australia there are employment options for permanent and locum work within the medical imaging industry.

There are basically two methods of entry for South African radiographers and sonographers looking to continue their working career in Australia:

* Entering on a temporary longstay visa for up to 4 years duration or,
* Migrating permanently.

Radiographers and sonographers need to get accreditation from the Australian Institute of Radiography before working in Australia. This is a prerequisite for most visas and is required by licensing and registration boards in Australian states. Also, the assistance of Healthsite Recruitment Australia is needed to find a job, prior to applying for a temporary longstay visa.
