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 departments for ACEM trainees, and those trainees doing PEM training (Fellows). A number of roles are placed into the match intended for trainees doing General Paediatric training - both 6 and 12 month roles are available within the match.
- PICU and Retrieval roles are recruited directly by Royal Children's Hospital and Monash Health
- Most Subspecialty fellow/registrar positions (e.g. Cardiology, Gastroenterology...) at Royal Children's Hospital and Monash Children's Hospital are advertised and recruited separately.
- Most NICU's currently recruit their senior roles (Fellows) directly - this recruitment occurs prior to the VPAT process commencing. The positions for General Paediatric advanced trainees are recruited via VPAT (Neonatal Medical Officers is the generic term for these roles as they all work on the same roster, but the positions may be filled by Advanced Trainees, continuing Basic Trainees, Unaccredited Registrars/SHMO's, and international medical graduates. The pay / award will align with your current training situation).
