The SA MET Health Advisory Council accredits units, general practices, community terms and Local Health Networks (LHNs) on a four-year cycle.
Accreditation for the four-year maximum will be granted, with or without conditions, when a LHN is compliant with most or all Australian Medical Council’s National standards and requirements for prevocational (PGY1 and PGY2) training programs and terms.
Provisional accreditation of shorter terms may be granted when issues have been noted requiring clarification or investigation for periods of three-years, two-years, twelve-months, or six-months.
A LHN may choose not to fill all accredited posts and therefore the number of posts accredited is not necessarily the number of posts funded or available for employment purposes. Additionally, there may be PGY2 prevocational doctors in posts that are not included in the table but are in the process of being accredited.
The PGY2 numbers represent the upper limit of prevocational trainee posts in each specialty. These posts can be filled by vocational trainees if they are also accredited by the relevant specialty medical college.
