Besides passing AMC Part1 and Part2, in order to get the general registration, you need to complete one year hospital rotation (47 weeks). This includes core departments rotation such as general medicine, surgery and emergency medicine. At lest 10 weeks for general medicine and surgey and 8 weeks for emergency medicine are required. The rest of time is allocated to elective departments. I believe most cases of overseas doctors challenging the standard pathway to get thte general registration proceed the preparation of AMC Part2 exam and this one year hosiptal rotation at the same time. If you have completed one year hospital rotation when you pass Part2, you can get the general registration straightaway. If not, you will be able to get what they call provisional registration and once you pass Part2, you can get the genera registration quickly. As long as you have a position in a hospital, this one year hospital rotation wouldn't be a big problem. Please see AHPRA's website for details.
