A Victoria resident is a candidate currently living in Victoria. The meaning of resident does not refer to “permanent residency”.

While PMCV understand candidates would like to as many reports as possible, it is important to understand from the perspective of the people needing to write the reports and the Health Services reading the reports. PMCV does want to increase the workload for the referees or assessing Health Services.

Health Services are only looking for two clinical referee reports unless specifically specified otherwise.

If you do want PMCV to remove a referee, the candidate must advise PMCV by email and the candidate must tell the referee immediately, as the referee will still have the email that was initially sent to complete the report.

Non-clinical referees should not be entered as a referee, as the template asks clinically based questions.

Include as much visa information as possible in the PMCV application. Mention your bridging via in your cover letter or CV to the Health Services, that will explain the missing information.

While you are not eligible for the 2024 Match for positions commencing in 2025.

You may still apply to Health Services that have graduate positions available for 2024.

These can be found on the GNMP Website’s Health Services Directory. Please note position numbers and application details relate to the 2024 Match, not to existing year vacancies.

Please undertake the following steps:

1. You must filter the Health Service Directory by ticking Late Vacancy Stage.
2. You must filter for future months.
3. Email directly to the Health Service; not via their e-recruit or by instructions on their website for Match positions.
4. Your email must clearly state in the subject line of the email: Late Vacancy application for position commencing in 2024.

Unfortunately, you are not eligible for Match where the positions don’t commence until 2025.

The good news is you may still apply to Health Services that have positions available commencing in 2024.

These can be found on the GNMP Website’s Health Services Directory.

Please note position numbers relate to the current Match, not to existing vacancies.

You must ensure the following:

4. Your email must clearly state in the subject line of the email: Late Vacancy application for position commencing in 2024.

You cannot enter a non-clinical referee report via your PMCV application. The report template asks clinically based questions, which a non-clinical referee will not be able to answer.

If you wish to submit a non-clinical referee, please send it direct to the Health Service as part of your Health Services application.
