2025 PMCV Video Interviews
The PMCV video interview you complete will be accessible to all the Health Services in your preference list. The interview consists of questions similar to those asked in a live interview, which will appear on your device screen, without an interviewer present. You do not need to complete a separate PMCV video interview for each Health Service, and your responses do not need to address specific Health Service values. Additionally, Health Services may conduct their own interviews.
- PMCV candidates are required to complete a PMCV Video Interview anytime between 10am Monday 7 July until 5pm Thursday 10 July.
- Interviews can be undertaken in any location with wifi access.

Deep breathes and keep going

Health Service Interviews
Health Services may conduct their own interview process subsequent to the PMCV Video Interviews
Health Services who conduct interviews may undertake these as face to face, virtual interviews, or in a group format. Where available the Health Service Directory will provide an overview of the proposed interview process for each Health Service
Examples of interview methods are:
1. Virtual – Interview conducted via video, with one or more interviewers.
2. Face to Face – you will be required to attend the interview in person. Maybe one or more interviewers.
3. Panel – One candidate with questions from a team of interviewers.
4. Group – Multiple candidates being interviewed at the same time. Candidates may be required to partake in discussions or problem-solving activities with other candidates while being assessed by the interviewer.
Ensure you dress professional for your interviews.
For face-to-face interviews ensure you have read the Health Services website or letter to get a list of documents you need to take to an interview. Prepare these documents in advance and plan your route so you arrive on time.
Not all Health Services conduct additional interviews, so don’t be concerned if you haven’t heard from all your health service preferences.
