Radiologist Recruitment for Australian Employers

CrossNation recruits specialist radiologists for employers across Australia and is currently recruiting for a radiologist role in Sydney. Radiologists must hold specialist registration with the Medical Board of Australia; overseas-trained specialists are assessed through the specialist pathway with the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists (RANZCR). Our fee is 12% of the candidate's annual salary, with a 90-day placement guarantee.

Hiring process

1

Brief: you tell us the modality mix, subspecialty, location, sessions and start date.

2

Search: we look at specialists already registered in Australia first, then overseas-trained specialists.

3

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.

4

Interview: you meet the shortlist and choose who to offer.

5

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.

Sector insights

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.

Onshore specialists: registration can be checked on the public register.
Overseas-trained: RANZCR assessment and Medical Board registration come first.
Visa steps, if any, need a registered migration agent.

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.
