AAAustralia: The "High Earning" Option

• The Pros: Very high private earning potential. Sunny climate. Direct recognition of GDC degrees.

• The Cons: Extremely competitive in major cities (Sydney/Melbourne). High taxes (comparable to UK).

• The Hurdles: AHPRA Registration can be notoriously slow and bureaucratic.1 You often need your police checks and certificates of standing perfectly aligned.

• Time Scale: 5–6 months due to AHPRA processing times.
