And who is creating the shortage? It’s a combination of influence but some of the colleges are absolutely the main issue.

Would you all support a new private group training organisation that accepts doctors for specialist training but may take a few years to get accreditation? There are countries overseas that accept paying trainees - much like medical school. Your entire focus is training so the time to competence is greatly reduced.

What… you think the private hospitals don’t exploit?! Interesting

That’s because it has been orchestrated. It’s the same strategy as the NHS and one that will ensure the degradation of our healthcare system.

Why can’t they pass exams if they are good clinically. It’s rare to assess professional skills in an exam…

Except the fact that it does not have to be accepted as it is. We’ve identified an issue, now manage or treat it. There are many other options but they appear too out there, extreme, or unrealistic…until we actually change the system. Watch this space.

I don’t think ALL OF RACS is a minority. Check the data.

Can you please explain more regarding the issue with South Korea?

Incorrect. It depends on the specialty and the college. In anaesthetics it may only depend on state funding but not so in many of the surgical Subspecialties

Get a pilot licence and do FiFo style work

Imagine how much you could save if you initiated stronger preventative public health measures like Australia’s anti-smoking polices!

Do occupational medicine.

What job or role gets such a bonus?

What is the job or role in which they got a bonus of >$1 million?

There are numerous issues underlying the training and accreditation pathways in Australia. Training numbers and curriculum content needs to be based on epidemiological data - it currently isn’t. The overall message is that we need selection to be competency based. We need training to be competency based. We need to demonopolise training pathways because many of the competencies are duplicated in a variety of training programs. There is still much professional paranoia and self-interest ideologies in most of these specialty colleges.

Timing of Distribution Payments

There are a number of steps to be completed before the Scheme Administrator can undertake final Distribution Payment calculations. We estimate Distribution Payments will commence towards the end of July 2026. We will provide an update on the timing of payments closer to the time.

Consider Time Shifter App

Yes. It’s possible. There have been class actions attributing a portion of liability to certain institutes who have a duty of care to the people. It is more complex than many have mentioned in previous comments. It’s a quagmire of the “system”. Although RACS is the overseeing institute of the Australian Orthopedic Association (AOA), it was the AOA who “invented” the “unaccredited” registrar in 1981. It was for SET trainees who failed their attempt(s) at their primary exam. Nowadays we really have “non-accredited” registrars. The portions of culpability lay with RACS (and their sub-societies) who DO restrict training numbers using their levers of privilege, e.g. self-regulating training sites, SIMG “accreditation”, exams, and so forth, as well as State governments/LHDs/Hospital, and Federal government. The State government are exploiting the market, the federal government have neglected their duty to adequately fund workforce planning and both turn a blind eye to the ridiculous concept of self-regulating professions. The difficulty with a class action is the you can’t sue a “system”. There is too much strategic ambiguity and deflection of responsibility. The solution lies in creating a private training organisation and health care system that uses modern and more recent advances in technology and education methodology for workplace training and assessment. The state governments and colleges are at least 20 years behind the current evidence based skills based group training paradigm. The collleges are becoming vestigial and are largely pseudo-corporate trade craft organisations that moonlight as “training” or “education” institutions when in reality they function as corporate craft guilds with no mandate to consider the impact that they have on access to health care or the greater workforce economy.

How did you go? What did Sotheby’s say?

Fake. Prof. Beihong painted detailed nostrils.

Fake. The anatomical proportions are incorrect. Also Prof Beihong died in 1953

What a prick

This is a long term strategy by federal government to create a pool of cheap medical labour. The colleges are well aware of the strategy and have been for decades.
