Prevocational Accreditation Committee

The Prevocational Accreditation Committee (PAC) is comprised of dedicated volunteers who freely give their time and energies in pursuit of ensuring the training and education experience of junior doctors is an optimal one.

To become a member of the PAC you should submit an Expression of Interest via the HETI Program Coordinator’s information on the contact us page. On completion of the first tenure a further three years may be offered, after this time, HETI may extend an individual’s membership for the benefit of the PAC.

Prevocational Training Providers may make submissions to the PAC via their Program Coordinator. The meeting dates for the website can be found on the PAC webpage.

Prevocational Training Council (PvTC)

The Prevocational Training Council (PvTC) is comprised of volunteers from a broad range of roles and responsibilities across NSW Health Centres. A full list of the representative requirements for the council can be found on the PvTC webpage.

To become involved with the PvTC you must be nominated by a relevant organisation or through an Expression of Interest, with formal appointment by the HETI Executive. PvTC members are given 3 year appointments with a possible 3 year extension upon discussion with the chair and committee.

Discussion topics and issues can be brought to the council by first approaching the HETI Prevocational Education Team, or, if you are a Junior Doctor, by approaching your JMO Forum representative.

JMO Forum

The Junior Medical Officer (JMO) Forum is comprised of a PGY1 and 2 from each prevocational training network and a representative from each RPR network hospital. Representatives from the ACT are invited to participate.

Each Forum representative has an appointment of 2 years.

Even if you are not on the forum as a representative, you can have issues and relevant topics addressed by discussing them with your JMO Forum representative or contacting the Prevocational Education Team at HETI via the contact us page.
