The RACP rolled out a new training management platform (TMP) for trainees entering the training program in 2025. This information sheet outlines actions or steps that will help you successfully access and use the TMP especially within the workplace.

Below are some common questions and helpful tips to consider when filling in your online application.

 
 

  • A Primary Hospital is your parent hospital. For JRMOs and registrars, this is the Royal Children’s Hospital. For SRMOs, this is Monash Children’s Hospital. A Training Site is the hospital that you will physically be at for the duration of the rotation.

  • Yes – they are counted as core general paediatrics rotations.

  • A term is usually 13 weeks. The RACP will count a minimum of 10 weeks as a complete core term (e.g. doing 10 weeks of ED is sufficient to tick off that requirement).

  • The RACP will only count accredited time if you are in the rotation for a minimum of 4 weeks. Contact your DPE if you have any issues with this.

  • The start date should be the first date that you are working and the end date should be the last Sunday of the rotation.

  • Submit your rotation as usual and put in the comments section “includes [insert number] weeks of annual leave”.

  • A perinatal NICU is one that has deliveries at that site. Mercy Hospital, Monash Newborn and the Women’s Hospital all are Neonatal sites with a perinatal NICU. Conversely, RCH has a Neonatology Unit without a perinatal NICU.

  • This can count as a general paediatric rotation so mark this as a general paediatric specialty. In the comments section you can write “includes [insert number] weeks of annual leave”.

  • Unfortunately you cannot make up accredited time by doing locum shifts.
