The NSWMSC Intern Forum
Following ongoing consultations with key stakeholders NSWMSC is pleased to announce the launch of the 2016 Internship Forum. The idea of such a database originated in 2013, and the Intern Forum website has been launched on 20 July 2015.
The Internship Forum is designed to connect graduating medical students who are interested in swapping the location of their internship for the following year.
The rules for swapping internships have recently been outlined by HETI (July 2014) and are stated below:

Can I swap the offer I receive with another applicant?
It is important for medical students to be aware that, once intern offers are made and accepted, a very small number of interns can arrange a swap. As discussed with its key stakeholders, HETI is not able to offer an intern swap process.
HETI is responsible for administering the process of allocating positions to prevocational interns in an equitable way. This process uses an algorithm to allocate positions, based on the preferences applicants list on their application and the positions available at the time of allocation.
HETI then advises Local Health Districts, who are responsible for drawing up employment contracts for interns who have accepted positions with them. This occurs in September each year once all positions have been filled.
HETI is unable to facilitate the swapping of internship positions. Interns are advised that any proposed transfer or swap for intern positions can only be raised with the employer, which can only happen once your employer has made contact with you.
