amanda12 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 My DH is a British trained anaesthetist looking at registering with FANZA. We are a little confused about some of the info that we have been given regarding restrictions on practice following registration. We we are waiting for the Royal College to confirm a few issues but they are currently not responding and we wonder if anyone else may be able to help. When we were looking for work previously, he would have been eligible to work pretty much anywhere so long as he had the appropriate visa and registration. Now we think he can only work in a DWS? Is any one able to confirm if this is the case please? Also, if this is the case, how are DWS areas defined? Some of the info we have found also states that he must work in a DWS for a decade before being eligible to practice with his own practice Medicare number. Is this a number he needs if he is wanting to undertake only private work? Or can he work in an area other than a DWS if he is happy to only work for public hospitals? any other advise around his registration would be great if someone has experience with FANZA. Thank you.

Hi Amanda I believe you mean registering with the ANZCA or becoming a FANZCA, and by the DWS restrictions you are referring to s19AA and s19AB restrictions If he becomes a FANZCA there are some ways to obtain exemptions from such restrictions. Also, in all cases, please note that DWS map for specialists is different from the DWS map for GPs. e.g. in Sydney, Menai is DWS for specialists, but not for GPs. i.e. Specialists like your husband would have access to less remote and more urban areas to work in.
