The Advanced Trainee Selection and Matching Service (ATSM) is used to assist recruitment processes by some hospitals and specialty groups in Victoria, Tasmania and New South Wales.

The Postgraduate Medical Council of Victoria (PMCV) will provide the 2022 ATSM service.

Applicants wishing to enter Advanced Training may apply for multiple specialties via the new Combined First Year Match. Specialties offering positions via the Combined First Year Match are indicated in the table below. Candidates may also participate in standalone matches for entry into Advanced Training. Continuing trainees may only apply for one specialty match.

Key dates

For positions with other specialty groups and health settings, check relevant recruitment websites.

The ATSM service will cease from 2023 onwards, as advised in our April communications. Some specialty groups have indicated an intention to continue to use the PMCV service for their matching and recruitment in future years. More information will be made available on the PMCV website in due course.
