Aboriginal Medical Workforce Recruitment Pathway
This pathway links Aboriginal medical graduates with support during the transition from medical school to prevocational trainee. If you are an Aboriginal medical graduate applying for a prevocational training position in NSW, you are eligible to apply.
The program aims to support the transition from medical graduate to becoming a prevocational trainee in any one of the 15 prevocational training networks or a rural preferential hospital in NSW where support has been identified.
Refer to the Aboriginal Medical Workforce Procedure for information and complete the Aboriginal Medical Workforce application form that needs to be uploaded to your PTAP application with supporting documentation.
More details are available on the HETI Aboriginal Medical Workforce Pathway website, including the Aboriginal Medical Workforce Mentoring Framework which was developed and implemented in partnership with the Australian Indigenous Doctors' Association.
