Trainee Positions
There are a number of training positions in Victoria that are not currently recruited via this website/process.
Please direct queries to individual Departments if you are interested to work for them. We have listed some of these here to assist trainees to find appropriate positions, but this list is not exhaustive / complete, and is not maintained from year to year.
Additional Positions / Sites performing direct recruitment:
- Paediatric ED positions are recruited directly by some departments for ACEM trainees, and only a limited number of roles are placed into the match
