Hi! I’m an IMG from the Philippines who hasn’t undergo post graduate internship. I moved here after my MD graduation and I’m currently on partner’s visa. I want to pursue my medical career here but I’m anxious about not getting a job placement or an internship. Has anyone been in this situation before and still able to become and practice medicine here? I really need help and guidance, I don’t know anyone in the medical industry here in Perth. Thanks!

I live in Karratha and write a free newsletter about money and life up here, Pilbara Pay Packet. Yes, this is my own thing, there's no paywall and I'm not selling anything. Thought it might help anyone planning a trip north or thinking about moving up.

Some of what's in it (numbers checked 27 Oct 2026, sources in the post):

• Heat: January averages a top of 36°C and a low of 27°C at Karratha Aero. 19 days a year hit 40°C or more, and the record is 48.4°C. July tops out around 26.5°C. My view: go May to September.
• Park entry for Karijini and Millstream Chichester is $17 a vehicle. Camping at Dales (Karijini) and Miliyanha (Millstream) is $15 an adult and $5 a kid per night.
• Cleaverville (council camping, 26 km from Karratha) is $16 a night from May to September and free October to April.
• Fuel on 13 October: Karratha unleaded 249.5c, Tom Price 269.9c, Nanutarra 297.9c. I'd fill up in town and again at Tom Price.
• Tom Price to Millstream is Rio Tinto's rail access road, about 82 km unsealed, and you need a free 30-day permit.
• My top 3 beaches: Honeymoon Cove at Point Samson, Hearson Cove, Dampier Foreshore. My top 3 places to live, with REIWA medians: Karratha, Dampier, Newman.
