When Nuclear Medicine (Radiology) applications run, and what the round looks like.
Feb
Jurisdiction-based, not a single national window: all Australian jurisdictions except Victoria advertise training positions externally (apply directly to hospitals/networks on their own timelines); Victoria's recruitment is managed internally by the College, and New Zealand runs a centralised College round (2026: applications closed noon 26 February, interviews 16 June).
All applicants first need a College Registration Verification Number (CRVN).
Typically PGY2 to 5. Clinical breadth across medicine and surgery is valued.
