A Unique Migration: South African Doctors Fleeing to Australia

by Peter Arnold, Bruce Howarth (Editor), James Jupp (Introduction)

South Africans have been leaving that country in ever-increasing numbers since 1948. This book traces the migration of South African medical practitioners to Australia over that who they are, why they left South Africa, why they chose Australia, what difficulties they encountered and what their experiences have been. It draws attention to the need for enquiry into why such 'elites' feel compelled to leave their homelands. Understanding this unique movement helps us understand what is happening on a broader front as English-speaking professionals relocate towards safer and more prosperous environments.
This important piece of work is thoroughly researched and relevant to the continuing movement of professionals around the world...

This book fills a gap which is becoming especially important as our professions become multicultural. Dr James Jupp AM, FASSA. Australian National University
