Healthcare Registration Timelines by Regulator: Published processing times for each stage of overseas health registration

How long each stage of registration takes for internationally trained health professionals, as the regulator publishes it. Each stage has the official statement, the minimum, typical and maximum number of calendar days where a figure is published, and what the clock does and does not include. There are 21 stages across 6 regulator routes, and 8 official facts for three regulators where timing depends on exam dates or states and so cannot be projected. 10 official source pages are linked. Published by MedicSail (https://medicsail.com), a licensing consultancy for internationally trained doctors, nurses, dentists, pharmacists and allied health professionals. The same figures appear on MedicSail's free guides and tools, where they are kept up to date. Files registration_timeline_stages.csv: One row per registration stage with its published duration.

Where a regulator gives no upper limit, max_days is blank. Where a stage depends on the date of an exam you book, is_exam_wait is yes and the days are blank. Days are calendar days. Weeks and months in the official statement are converted to days (a month is counted as 30.44 days) in min_days, typical_days and max_days; the exact wording is in official_statement. Timelines are service standards or aims, not guarantees. things_that_add_time lists what the regulator's clock does not include. Check the source page before you rely on or pay anything.
