The Tasmanian Health Service is seeking interest from suitably qualified applicants for the Tasmanian Anaesthetic Training Program (TATP) Registrar vacancies for 2027.
The TATP provides anaesthesia training at all 3 Tasmanian Health Service (THS) hospitals. It has between 35-40 positions each year including up to 7 provisional fellowship positions, with a variable number of vacancies. All trainees in Tasmania are included in the TATP.
The TATP is an inclusive statewide end-to-end ANZCA anaesthesia training program that includes anaesthetic registrars, provisional fellows, ICU trainees doing anaesthesia, and Rural Generalist Anaesthesia (RGA) trainees. For all trainees, there is a strong focus on clinical experience, teaching, training progression, collegiality, and support.
The Tasmanian Anaesthetic Training Program Committee (TATPC) represents the 3 participating hospitals in the Tasmanian Anaesthetic Training Program and under the jurisdiction of the Department of Health, Tasmania and the ANZCA Tasmanian Regional Committee.
RGA Training
RGA training can occur in all 3 Tasmanian anaesthetic training sites with experienced supervisors, relevant clinical experience, support and access to excellent teaching. Appointment of RGA trainees depends on the suitability of RGA applicants and the balance of anaesthetic trainees throughout the state to ensure best use of available training opportunities for all.
Successful RGA candidates are encouraged to demonstrate a strong relevant career path including regional, rural, and remote settings.
Applicants must be registered as a trainee with RACGP or ACRRM or have completed their RACGP or ACRRM fellowship.
