Radiologist Recruitment for Australian Employers

Roles CrossNation recruits
Hiring process
Brief: you tell us the modality mix, subspecialty, location, sessions and start date.
Search: we look at specialists already registered in Australia first, then overseas-trained specialists.
Screen: we record each candidate's Medical Board of Australia registration (verifiable on the public Ahpra register) or where an overseas-trained specialist is in the RANZCR assessment.
Interview: you meet the shortlist and choose who to offer.
Offer and start: we coordinate the offer; overseas-trained specialists must complete registration (and any visa steps) before they start.
Readiness and compliance checks
Specialist registration (radiology) with the Medical Board of Australia.
RANZCR specialist pathway assessment for overseas-trained specialists.
Medicare provider number arrangements for the practice location.
Remuneration set by contract or enterprise agreement, not a single modern award.
Why lead times differ for overseas-trained radiologists
A radiologist who already holds specialist registration in Australia does not need the registration steps that an overseas-trained specialist must complete first. An overseas-trained specialist goes through the specialist pathway: RANZCR assesses their training and experience, and the Medical Board of Australia decides on registration. Some candidates also need a period of supervised practice. These steps take time that varies by person, so we tell you up front where each candidate is in the process.
Frequently asked questions
What does radiologist recruitment through CrossNation cost?
Our fee is 12% of the candidate's annual salary, with a 90-day placement guarantee.
Do you recruit overseas-trained radiologists?
Yes, alongside specialists already registered in Australia. Overseas-trained specialists must complete the RANZCR specialist pathway and Medical Board of Australia registration before they can practise here.
Where in Australia do you recruit radiologists?
CrossNation recruits for employers across Australia, in metro and regional locations. Our current open radiologist role is in Sydney.
Can you handle the visa for an overseas radiologist?
No. Visa work needs a registered migration agent, and sponsorship is the employer's decision. CrossNation is a recruitment agency, not a registered migration agent. This is general information, not migration advice. Speak to a registered migration agent.
