Allocations to Training Positions

The Board conducts the allocation of trainees to accredited positions during all clinical training years of the SET Program (SET1, SET2, SET3, SET5 and SET6). Trainees must be prepared to be assigned to a position anywhere in Australia and New Zealand. Singapore trainees must be prepared to be assigned to the positions in Singapore for SET1, SET2 and SET3.

Submitting Preferences for Positions

Trainees and supervisors will be given the opportunity to indicate their preferences for suitable accredited positions and trainees on an annual basis with the Board conducting the allocation before August in the year prior. In conducting the allocations consideration will be given to preferences, trainee seniority, clinical exposure requirements and geographical distributions.

How long can a trainee spend in each training unit?

Each individual training position has an accreditation period which is a maximum of 12 months. Trainees are allocated to training positions (not training units as such). Therefore the maximum time a trainee can spend in any training unit depends on the number of accredited training positions in that unit, and the accreditation duration of each training position. The list of accredited positions and sueprvisors can accessed by members below.
