Prevocational Accreditation

The Health Education and Training Institute (HETI) is accredited by the Australian Medical Council and approved by the Medical Board of Australia as the prevocational training accreditation authority for New South Wales.

The HETI Prevocational Accreditation Program monitors standards for the training and welfare of prevocational trainees in their first two postgraduate years (PGY1 and PGY2).

HETI is responsible for ensuring the health services it accredits are compliant with the national standards and requirements for prevocational training programs and terms.
