The Australian Medical Council (AMC) is pleased to announce that it has reduced the fees for the AMC CAT Multiple Choice Question (MCQ) exams from $3,124 to $2,920. This will apply to all applications received from 8 January 2024 (AEDT – Australian Eastern Daylight Time). The decision is part of our ongoing review of assessment against international benchmarks.
International medical graduates play a critical role in the Australian medical workforce and make important contributions to the communities they serve. The AMC is committed to ensuring that we have timely and efficient systems in place so that international medical graduates can progress through assessment and ultimately practise medicine in Australia.
Reducing the MCQ exam fees will help reduce the financial burden of assessments and is one of a number of initiatives that we are doing to improve assessment pathways and supports for international medical graduates.
The AMC will be contacting AMC candidates who have paid the higher fee with information about the refund. Please note that this arrangement does not apply to candidates who have already cancelled their authorisation and received a refund. For more details, please see the current AMC fees and charges, and Frequently Asked Questions.
