Rotation Allocations

Rotations will be allocated to the new Intern cohort after submitting preferences for:

  • Annual leave term preference
  • Metropolitan rotations
  • Regional rotations
  • Indication of whether your annual leave allocation or rotation preference is a higher priority 

Our Medical Workforce Unit will aim to accommodate your preferences, although unfortunately cannot guarantee all preferences are met. For over-subscribed rotations, these will be allocated randomly among those who preference them.

After the Master Planner has been completed, there will be an opportunity to swap, while ensuring all Interns still meet the required clinical experiences for successful completion of Internship. Medical Workforce will do their best to accommodate these swaps on a case-by-case basis.
