The recognition of FCPS (Fellowship of the College of Physicians and Surgeons) Pakistan in Australia depends on the specific medical specialty and the licensing requirements of each state or territory.

* **Additional Requirements:** Depending on your specialty, you may need to complete further assessments, such as examinations, clinical rotations, or professional development programs.
* **Specific Recognition:** Some specialties, like General Practice, may require you to complete specific training programs or assessments to be eligible for registration in Australia.
