Queensland Health coordinates an annual campaign to recruit interns for positions in hospital and health services across the state.

There is only one method of application for the intern campaign – the lodgement of an online form via a central application portal, which opens for a minimum of two weeks each year (usually early March for rural generalist intern positions and May for general intern positions).

Hospitals accredited to deliver intern training participate in the annual campaign and medical graduates can assign a preference to all participating hospitals
from highest to lowest (number 1 being the applicant’s most preferred hospital).

From the applications received via the intern campaign, applicants are either directly allocated to an intern position (Applicant Group A i.e. those guaranteed an offer) or will participate in a merit selection process conducted by participating hospitals with remaining intern vacancies (Applicant Groups B-D).

Visit the Queensland Health Intern Campaign website to access the application portal and for further information, including an explanation of application groups and eligibility criteria, key campaign dates and intern recruitment contacts.
