Junior Medical Officers from Australia and overseas are invited to develop their medical careers within the country’s largest public health system, with NSW today opening applications for the 2024 Junior Medical Officer (JMO) recruitment campaign.

Each year, NSW Health oversees a highly successful recruitment campaign for Junior Medical Officers who have completed their first two postgraduate years of medical practice.

As Australia’s largest health system, our Junior Medical Officers have the opportunity to work with some of the most experienced and skilled medical professionals in a variety of clinical settings.

NSW Health offers a wide variety of vocational and non-vocational positions and specialty training programs, where Junior Medical Officers can gain valuable experience and progress their professional careers.

The recruitment campaign offers these junior doctors positions in a range of specialties including general medicine, intensive and emergency care, pain management, psychiatry, pathology and more.

NSW Health Minister Ryan Park said it is an exciting opportunity for JMOs to advance their medical careers in NSW Health.

“NSW employs more than 170,000 people in public hospitals across the state – making us the largest health system in Australia and an attractive choice for young doctors looking to train in a diverse range of clinical settings,” Mr Park said.

“Junior Medical Officers who work in NSW Health gain valuable experience working with world-class senior clinicians, and have the opportunity to train in rotations across different settings and geographic locations, working within state-of-the-art facilities.”

Parliamentary Secretary for Health and Regional Health Dr Michael Holland said the NSW Government is committed to growing the health workforce of the future.

“In 2023, NSW Health employed more than 6,100 Junior Medical Officers through the annual recruitment campaign and we hope to see similar results this year,” Dr Holland said.

“The NSW Government is focused on supporting postgraduate education and training for the state’s Junior Medical Officer’s to ensure that our medical workforce has the skills to meet the changing health needs of the people of NSW.”

The main round of Junior Medical Officer recruitment opens 18 July 2023 and closes 8 August 2023.

Second round advertising will open 3 October 2023 and close 19 January 2024. Junior doctors recruited will start in their new positions in February 2024.
