Can I work in a laboratory in Australia if I have a medical laboratory degree in China?

First of all, I want to say that it is possible.

However, it is quite difficult to do.

First of all, if there is a hospital in Australia that wants you, it’s easy to go directly, but this is usually only possible if there are people there. Because you don’t have local professional qualifications and PR, the hospital won’t hire you if it doesn’t matter.

Of course, you can also pass professional certification first. The professional name is Medical Scientist and the certification organization is AMIS.

The main thing is course certification. After finishing it, I will take a baby exam that is all questions and answers. I have passed the basic course certification. If my language is good, I can pass it. (For example, I asked you what tablet to use for gonorrhea identification. Pay attention to the key points, but it is in English). However, this exam is only once a year, which is very frustrating. And I would like to warn you that course accreditation only certifies undergraduate courses. Postgraduate and doctorate courses are useless. They don’t recognize it. Ask me why, and I don’t know. Ask their chairman. .

With local professional certification, you are much more likely to find a job, because there is a huge shortage of people in the Australian laboratory department.

You want to ask why? Who is willing to do a job that is tiring and moneyless?

Someone upstairs said that the status of laboratory testers is higher than that of clinicians. That refers to laboratory doctors. People with local medical degrees are from laboratory departments. Upper level personnel. The job is easy, the people are respected, and the basic annual salary for those with some qualifications is more than 100,000.

However, laboratory technicians basically belong to the bottom of the hospital. The most important characteristic is that they do not have a medical degree. The work is tiring (technicians collect specimens to produce results, and doctors are only responsible for issuing reports), but the salary is not even that of nurses. It's not as good, it can even be said that it's not even as good as a nurse. It's about 30,000-40,000 per year, and the maximum is 50,000 for those with qualifications. Therefore, local people are not willing to work as technicians. (By the way, the occupation name is quite nice, "Medical Scientist"...)

In general, I feel that using this occupation to immigrate to work is a bit out of proportion to the investment, but if you really want to operate it, It's definitely possible, because I immigrated this way myself. But I don’t do it now.

In addition, if you really want to be a laboratory physician, you must go to a local medical school. Domestic medical degrees are not recognized here. Of course, it is really difficult to study medicine in Australia. This was my original plan, but unfortunately I was worried about money and didn’t have the energy, so I had to take a detour.

I'm a bit verbose, but I hope this helps.
