Description

The Queensland Trainees’ Committee (QTC) is an active and engaged group representing the diverse cohort of RACP trainees from Queensland. The Committee works to ensure trainees feel supported, connected and heard, and enhances the training experience by creating opportunities for trainees across sites to interact and participate in College initiatives.

Expressions of interest are now open for a Paediatric Trainee to join the Committee and contribute to representing trainees across Queensland.

The Trainees’ Committee play an important role in representing the voice of trainees and shaping the training experience within the College.

The Committee focuses on:

  • advocacy on recruitment, education, supervision, assessment and training progression
  • strengthening trainee engagement and representation
  • supporting trainee involvement in College programs

The Committee meets 4 to 5 times per year, generally via videoconference, to discuss current issues impacting trainees and to guide priorities for the state. The QTC also appoints trainee representatives to relevant College committees and reports directly to the Queensland Committee.

Key functions include:

  • Representing trainee interests across Queensland
  • Providing input into College decision-making

Our commitment to inclusivity

The RACP is committed to inclusive and respectful committee environments, and to ensuring its governance structures reflect the breadth of perspectives across its membership and the communities it serves.
When assessing expressions of interest, the College considers skills and experience alongside the perspectives and lived experience applicants may bring. Any information shared is voluntary and will be treated respectfully.

The RACP recognises Māori as tangata whenua and Te Tiriti o Waitangi partners in Aotearoa New Zealand, and acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Indigenous peoples of Australia and Pacific peoples as recognised within the Indigenous Strategic Framework.

Consistent with the RACP Constitution and the Indigenous Strategic Framework, and informed by Te Tiriti o Waitangi and the Uluru Statement from the Heart, the College is committed to upholding Indigenous leadership, the rights of Indigenous peoples to self-determination, and ensuring cultural safety across committee environments.

This is not positioned as a subset of diversity, but reflects distinct status, leadership, rights, and contribution
