The South Australia and Northern Territory Rotational Training Scheme (SANTRATS) is a comprehensive anaesthesia training program that offers rotation through a number of hospitals in South Australia and Northern Territory.

SANTRATS is overseen by the rotational supervisors, with assistance from the directors of anaesthesia and the SA/NT regional committee of ANZCA. Based on recommendations, the directors of departments within the scheme make the appointments and employ the trainees. 

There are two intakes per annum: hospital employment year/new year (applications open June) and mid year (applications open March). These are advertised when available on the SA Health Careers website.

Applications for the SANTRATS 2024 mid year intake are now closed. Applications for the 2025 new year intake will open mid June.

In Victoria, there are four rotational training schemes: North Western, Eastern, Monash, and Victorian Regional Training Network (VRTN). Together these make up the Victorian Anaesthesia Training Scheme (VATS). The Victorian Anaesthesia Training Committee (VATC) is the body managing the centralised application process for the four rotational training programs, and is a forum for joint decision making. Each program, the Victorian Regional Committee and the Victorian Trainee Committee are represented at the VATC.

The VATC oversees a single point application process for entry into the rotational training programs. You can find information and dates here.

Applicants need to fill out relevant details, attach a CV, and nominate three referees. Each program conducts its own shortlisting and interviews.

Applicants shortlisted to be interviewed for more than one program need to complete an online preference form.

The Western Australian Anaesthetic Rotational Training Program is run on behalf of all of the WA anaesthesia training hospitals, for trainees in introductory training (IT), basic training (BT) and advanced training (AT) years one and two.
