Applications for 2027 positions will open in July 2026.

This program is a recruitment-matching program for General Paediatric advanced training and unaccredited paediatric registrar positions.  

Positions are recruited centrally, with allocations made on a competitive basis.  Positions are not allocated based on a trainee's outstanding training requirements, as we are not a training network. Only one position (per 6-month rotation) will be offered via the VPAT program - this will be the best matched role we can offer based on your preferences and the health services' rankings of candidates who have applied to their role(s).

This site is  being retired and will not be updated after May 2026. 

Please go to VPAT Application Portal https://vpat.au  where you can see the full job list, information about the sites, and make your application during the annual recruitment period.  The application portal is open in July of each year.  The support email is monitored from June - September each year.
