Through the video he said that he wanted to contribute his abilities to establish Jihad for Islam and help the Muslims.
More than 100 Australians are believed to have joined with Jihadists in Iraq and Syria.
Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said that the plea to join as Jihadists by a medical professional was really a worrying development.
She told the news agency that the incident had been creating deep concern throughout, while the same might provoke Australians and others and put themselves at utmost risk.
