2025 Basic Physician Training in Adult Internal Medicine

This is the application process for selection to training into one of the WA BPT Networks and eligible WACHS sites for 2025. 

Please note: The application process has changed for the 2025 Selection to Training.

Summary of Changes

• Applicants must be at least PGY2 in order to apply (to commence training as a PGY3). 
• Applicants holding an offer or contract of employment for the 2025 clinical year with Albany, Broome, Bunbury, Geraldton, and Kalgoorlie sites within the WA Country Health Service (WACHS) are eligible to apply for BPT training.
• Current trainees seeking to continue within the same network are now permitted to submit a shorter application through a separate process. Advert link and details will be provided directly to continuing applicants via email.
• The WA BPT Network supports and encourages applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Additional application marks are available for these applicants as part of a commitment to growing this workforce.

This is not an application for employment.

To be eligible to apply, applicants must have an existing contract of employment with or have accepted an RMO or SMR offer of employment for 2025 from either:

• Fiona Stanley Fremantle Hospital Group
• Royal Perth Bentley Group
• Sir Charles Gairdner Osborne Park Health Care Group
• WACHS Albany, Broome, Bunbury, Geraldton or Kalgoorlie

A submitted application is required to contain the applicable employment information for 2025 by the close of applications. Please note: once applications are submitted, they cannot be edited, and any additional documents cannot be uploaded. We recommend you save a draft of your application which you can edit as required until you are ready to submit it.

Applications are for a 12-month appointment to a training program.
Applicants must have employment for the entire 2025 clinical year except where the applicant is seeking only 6 months of BPT or their employer’s BPT Network Director of Physician Education (DPE) has agreed to accept the application conditional on continuing employment.

Each of the sites within the WA BPT AIM Network have a comprehensive educational program tailored to BPTs. For further information on BPT, please visit the Royal Australasian College of Physicians website https://www.racp.edu.au/trainees/basic-training.
