Selection Process
In Victoria, there are four rotational training schemes; Regional, North Western, Eastern and Monash. Together these make up the Victorian Anaesthesia Training Scheme (VATS). The Victorian Anaesthesia Training Committee (VATC) is the body managing the centralised application process for the three rotational training programs and is a forum for joint decision making. Each program, the Victorian Regional Committee and the Victorian Trainee Committee are represented at the VATC.
The VATC oversees a single point application process for entry into the rotational training programs. You can find information and dates on the Victorian Anaesthesia Training Committee Facebook page.
Applicants need to fill out relevant details, attach a CV, and nominate three referees. Each program conducts its own shortlisting and interviews. Applicants shortlisted to be interviewed for more than one program need to complete an online preference form.
A two-stage process for trainee application and registration that can occur sequentially or concurrently.
After gaining at least 52 weeks of clinical experience (PMET), you can become an applicant with the college. Becoming an applicant gives you access to a number of college resources, including the ANZCA website, library, college communications and many more. Applicants do not have access to TPS. If you have a training position starting next year, on or before the hospital employment year, you can become an applicant now and access to our resources before you start training.
Once you have secured a training position, you can register with the college as a trainee.
Please note, TPS access will commence on your first day of training.
