Get ready for the launch of MyPortfolio!
We're excited to share an important milestone in our ongoing commitment to modernising and enhancing the quality of ANZCA’s training programs.
As part of our focus on delivering a consistent, contemporary, and high-quality learning experience for trainees, supervisors, fellows, and specialist international medical graduates (SIMGs), we’re replacing the Training Portfolio System (TPS) with a new cloud-based platform — MyPortfolio.
MyPortfolio is anticipated to go live during the week of 24 November 2025.
What's happening now
To support the transition, we’ve commenced Supervisor of Training (SOT) training sessions across regions. These sessions will continue through October, November, and into early December, ensuring everyone is well prepared.
In early December, we’ll host a series of drop-in support sessions for trainees, supervisors, and fellows. These sessions will provide opportunities to:
- Ask questions about MyPortfolio
- Receive refresher or follow-up training
- Get hands-on support with the new platform
A growing suite of MyPortfolio tutorial videos is also available via Learn@ANZCA → Anaesthesia MyPortfolio tutorial videos. Additional resources will be added over the coming months.
Overview and demonstration
We're committed to modernising and investing in the future quality of our training programs. With our focus on modernising our training platforms to offer trainees, supervisors, members, and specialist international medical graduates (SIMGs) a consistent world-class educational experience, we're excited to announce that we're replacing the Training Portfolio System (TPS) with a contemporary cloud-based training solution for the anaesthesia Training Program called MyPortfolio.

Questions about MyPortfolio
Although our legacy TPS, developed over 12 years ago, has served us well, it has become outdated and limits growth and innovation. The system lacks scalability and flexibility, making it difficult to implement major enhancements or support new programs in a timely manner. As such, it no longer meets ANZCA’s evolving needs.
MyPortfolio
Following a comprehensive and collaborative naming process, with the goal of identifying a name that is modern, meaningful, and scalable
Key priorities in the naming process included:
- Simplicity: A name that is short, easy to pronounce, and easy to write
- Clarity: Instantly understandable, particularly in digital environments
- Familiarity: Aligned with existing platforms such as MyANZCA, reinforcing a cohesive and intuitive user experience
After evaluating current offerings and exploring branding opportunities, MyPortfolio was identified as the ideal complement to ANZCA’s digital ecosystem.
MyPortfolio is focused on presenting improved user experience, and clear presentation of training information that's easy to understand and interpret.
There are many benefits coming with the new system. Some of them will be more noticeable than others.
- The look and feel of the system have been updated to a modern standard in line with the ANZCA website.
- Workflows are being improved to make the system easier to use.
- The whole system has been designed with mobile devices in mind.
The first phase of development (which focuses on the ANZCA Training Program) is scheduled to go live in November 2025.
Updates to the ANZCA Training Handbook will be made alongside instructional videos to reflect how to use the MyPortfolio.
We value any feedback you may have to improve your training experience. You can contact the Project Elevate team at [email protected].
While phase 1 of the project focuses on the ANZCA Training Program, there is every intention to extend the new platform to support the college's other training programs and offerings. The onboarding of the other programs and offerings will be prioritised as they are approved by council.
As we approach the release of MyPortfolio, we will be assessing transition requirements based on progress and time left to complete. We will be in touch with further information clarifying the transition requirements as soon as feasible.
All PFTs will be transitioned to MyPortfolio. We encourage PFTs who are about to finish training to finalise outstanding tasks before MyPortfolio is launched.
Trainees can retrospectively add cases in the new MyPortfolio system after the transition. While it's encouraged to keep TPS up to date before the transition, it’s not mandatory for adding past cases.
There is nothing in particular you need to do to prepare, however we encourage you to download your Trainee Summary Report and cases and procedures report by 17 November.

It is treated as ongoing, and the system prevents creation of additional placements until an end date is added.
