Exemption to location requirements


        1. Exemption to location requirements

Last revised: 15 Dec 2025

Exemption to location requirements

If you are with the rural stream, it may be necessary to do your hospital training year, extended skills and/or additional rural skills training term(s) in an MM 1 location (eg if there is no suitable option within your training region). In this case, you may be temporarily allocated to train in an MM 1 location. When you've finished the term, you'll be expected to return to your usual training location. To apply for this exemption, contact your training coordinator.

If you're an Australian Defence Force Registrar, you're eligible to undertake your extended skills training overseas. Discuss this with your training coordinator to ensure you meet any other obligations while training outside of Australia.
