    When Do I Start? Australian Trainee Doctor Term Dates for 2025

    Suppose you are a trainee doctor in Australia or perhaps considering working as a trainee doctor in Australia. You may wonder what your commencement dates are and/or when you might be changing terms. Well, wonder no more. We have compiled the Australian Trainee Doctor Term Dates for 2025 just for you.

    Australian doctor training and trainee doctor term dates operate on an “academic year” that traditionally runs from mid to late January (sometimes February) each year to around the same date 12 months later the following year. Generally, the entire academic year runs for a 52-week period. But occasionally (about every four years), it runs for 53 weeks – to avoid slowly creeping back into the Christmas period.

    There have been past efforts to harmonise trainee doctor term dates across States and Territories and include an overlap period where interns can buddy up with last year’s interns. But as you can see from the tabbed document below, trainee doctor term dates now vary widely from the commencement of 6th January 2025 for interns in Western Australia to 3rd February 2025 for Registrars in NSW.

    If you are looking for information on salary please go here to our comprehensive post.

    For IMG doctors wondering. Yes. It is entirely possible to start your position in Australia outside of these particular trainee doctor term dates. Services won’t make you wait till the next changeover. This can often be useful as you might get a chance to work alongside a colleague for a week or two before “flying solo”, as they say.

    As an added bonus, we have also attached a salary guide. You can get more information about trainee doctor salaries and conditions here and here.

    Australian doctor training and trainee doctor term dates operate on an “academic year” that traditionally runs from mid to late January (sometimes February) each year to around the same date 12 months later the following year.
