How to apply – AMC candidate account and portfolio

The Australian Medical Council is an organisation whose work impacts across the lands of Australia and New Zealand.

The Australian Medical Council acknowledges the Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Peoples as the original Australians and the Māori People as the tangata whenua (Indigenous) Peoples of Aotearoa (New Zealand). We recognise them as the traditional custodians of knowledge for these lands.

We pay our respects to them and to their Elders, both past, present and emerging, and we recognise their enduring connection to the lands we live and work on, and honour their ongoing connection to those lands, its waters and sky.

Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people should be aware that this website may contain images, voices and names of people who have passed away.

ECFMG’s Recognized Accreditation Policy

It is important to note that this recognition does not impact the application and verification processes undertaken by the Australian Medical Council (AMC). The AMC’s procedures remain unchanged, and applicants should continue to follow the established guidelines and requirements when establishing an AMC portfolio and/or progressing with the AMCs assessment processes as part of the Medical Board of Australia’s registration requirements.

Steps to establish an AMC portfolio

There are six steps to complete an application for an assessment pathway.

These steps must be completed in order:

Step 1 – Confirm your medical school, medical degree title and graduation year eligibility

Step 2 – Create a MyIntealth account

Step 3 – Create an AMC candidate account

Step 4 – Establish an AMC portfolio

Step 5 – Proceed with your eligible pathway

Step 6 – Qualification(s) verified

Refer to the How to apply to the AMC flowchart

Step 1 – Confirm your medical school, medical degree title and graduation year eligibility

International Medical Graduates who have a medical degree (final medical diploma/primary qualification) in clinical medicine and surgery awarded by a training institution as outlined in the steps are eligible to proceed.

For detailed information on the above steps, refer to the AMC Candidate Account Guide – see Check eligible medical schools, medical degree titles (final medical diploma/primary qualification) and graduation years.

Step 2 – Create a MyIntealth account

MyIntealth is the online platform used by the AMC to confirm that your medical credentials are authentic and acceptable. It is a service offered by ECFMG.

Create a MyIntealth account. ECFMG should provide your MyIntealth ID to you within 2–3 business days.

For detailed information on the above steps, refer to the AMC Candidate Account Guide – see Steps to create an AMC candidate account and establish an AMC portfolio, refer to Step 2 – Create a MyIntealth account.

Step 3 – Create an AMC account

You must have an AMC candidate account so that information and documents can be shared between you and the AMC, and the AMC can provide you with access to candidate services. You cannot establish a Portfolio to apply for assessment without an AMC candidate account.

If you do not have an AMC candidate account, you must create one.
If you created an AMC candidate account prior to 1 October 2015, you need to create a new account.
If you created an AMC candidate account after 1 October 2015, you can log in.

Please read the AMC candidate account Terms of Use carefully before proceeding.

For detailed information on the above steps, refer to the AMC candidate account guide – see Steps to create an AMC candidate account and establish an AMC portfolio, refer to Step 3 – Create an AMC candidate account.

Step 4 – Establish an AMC Portfolio

NOTE: Check the FAQs to determine if you need to establish an AMC Portfolio.

Once you have completed Steps 1 and 2 (and 3 if not already created) and have your MyIntealth ID, you can establish an AMC Portfolio.

All new applicants without an AMC candidate number must establish an AMC portfolio.

For detailed information on the above steps, refer to the AMC Candidate Account Guide – Steps to create an AMC candidate account and establish an AMC portfolio, refer to Step 4 – Establish an AMC portfolio.

The AMC Portfolio is an online application method.

The following types are NOT eligible/acceptable to be added to an AMC candidate account. An administration processing fee will be charged if you add non-eligible document details to your AMC candidate account when applying, such as:

medical registrations/license to practise
PhDs
research
internship/ housemanship/ foundation documents
partially completed training credentials/qualifications
scientific (for e.g. Bachelor of Science)
short courses
Australian/Australasian qualifications.

If any are added to an AMC portfolio, these will NOT appear on your AMC candidate account.

You must add all eligible qualifications verified by ECFMG to your AMC candidate account (by initial portfolio application or if already submitted by an additional qualification application).
