Austin Health is the major provider of tertiary health services, health professional education and research across three campuses in the north-east of Melbourne and statewide. We have a highly engaged, diverse and collaborative workforce that is unified by our goal to help people live healthy and fulfilled lives.

About Junior Medical Staff

Austin Health is a major training service for doctors at all stages of their careers and specialises in advanced vocational training in most specialties, with a central academic role across most Medical Colleges.

Hospital Medical Officers (HMOs) are employed in four key training streams: Critical Care, General, Medical (Physician Training) and Surgical. Each training stream offers a variety of rotations across Austin Health as well as other metropolitan, regional/rural and interstate hospitals. HMOs are provided with experiences to support career development and progression towards vocation/specialty training.

Austin operates an extensive network of rotations at both the pre-vocational and vocational trainee level. At the vocational level, Austin Health has in excess of 450 specialty registrar positions across virtually all adult specialties, except Obstetrics and Gynaecology.

About the role

Applications are invited from suitably qualified and enthusiastic medical practitioners to join our team as a Basic Physician Trainee Year 1 or Year 2 in the Medical Workforce for the 2027 Clinical Year.

Positions are available for Medical/Physician training. For further details on the training programs and opportunities, as well as application requirements, please refer to the information guide.

Successful trainees will be offered a wide selection of general and speciality rotations within a major teaching hospital, a smaller metro hospital (Heidelberg Repatriation Hospital campus), and two regional hospitals (Bendigo Health & Grampians Health - Horsham). Please note that a regional/rural term is an expected component of Central North West Consortium BPT2&3 appointments. Rosters are created to optimise training experience and speciality time over the basic physician training years.

The Central North West Consortium offers comprehensive support across all years of the PREP program with all rotations accredited by the RACP. We have a long tradition of providing excellent physician training to trainees within this consortium. A training program to support trainees preparing for the written and clinical RACP examinations has been implemented across all sites within the consortium.

In-house written exam lectures are held from September to January each year, finishing with a mock 170-question written exam. Applicants for BPT2 positions intending to complete the RACP examination process will be given priority for subsequent appointment to BPT3 positions the following year to enable optimal allocation of rotations and facilitate exam preparation for trainees. Further information can be obtained at www.centralnorthwest.org.au

Please note that successful candidates offered a BPT Year 1 position will receive a one-year contract, while successful candidates offered a BPT Year 2 position will receive a two-year contract.
