The 2008 Strengthening Medical Specialist Training program has been developed to increase medical specialist training positions in Victorian public hospitals.

The program aims to:

  • Identify shortages or oversupply in specialist training positions
  • Map current service delivery against training capacity through the Specialist Training Annual Growth (STAG) model
  • Provide flexible funding options to support growth identified through WEIS, to address demonstrated workforce shortage and maldistribution and to undertake research.

This program incorporates the existing Advance Specialists Training Posts in Regional Australia (ASTPRA). Together with the Commonwealth, the Victorian Government is funding positions at major rural centres for doctors who are training to be medical specialists.
