Registrar training

Please find below the campaign dates for registrar recruitment within WA Health. These dates are grouped into three categories:

1. College
   Recruitment is managed by the relevant specialist medical College.
2. IHRDS – Inter-Hospital Registrar Distribution Schedule
   In Western Australia, certain service, trainee, and senior registrar specialty portfolios are coordinated across Health Service Providers to support centralised recruitment and allocation. The system-wide approach to registrar workforce planning was adopted to support specialty supply and demand frameworks, a statewide vision for medical education and a stronger engagement with Health Service Providers and Specialist Colleges. The three Coordinating Health Service Providers are East Metropolitan Health Service, South Metropolitan Health Service and North Metropolitan Health Service.
3. Hospital – [Health Service Acronym]
   Recruitment is managed by individual hospitals or hospital groups (see acronyms defined at the end of the page). Hospital driven campaigns are advertised on MedCareersWA.
