Information on NSW medical intern hospital position allocation
Dear Health Education and Training Institute NSW (HETI),
I am requesting documentation pertaining to the process by which medical school graduates are allocated to NSW intern positions across the 15 NSW public hospital networks through the optimised allocation (OA) pathway.
Specifically, I would like documentation covering the following points:
- The number of intern positions available at each OA-allocated network for the 2024 and 2025 internship years
- Details on the number of allocation swaps that occurred between candidates for the 2024 internship year
- Details on the prioritisation/randomisation algorithm(s) used to allocate graduates to intern positions through the OA pathway, and the logic that is employed to attempt to maximise the number of graduates allocated to their most desired placements, including both simple and technical documentation where available
- Details on the number of applicants whose OA pathway allocations were manually determined or altered (that is, cases where an applicant's allocation was either not made through the normal procedure, or was made through the normal procedure and later changed by hand), and whether each of these alterations occurred through documented pathways (e.g. Extenuating Circumstances/Change in Personal Circumstances) or through internal/informal mechanisms
- Any requests that were received from NSW government staff, including HETI and NSW Health personnel, requesting that a graduate's OA allocation be made/altered manually outside of documented pathways, and the outcome of these requests
- Details on the reason for any OA allocation alterations that occurred NOT through documented pathways for alteration of allocations
Documentation could come in many forms, but I expect for the purposes of this request is likely to include internal policies, guidelines, memos, email and/or paper communications, whitepapers, and computer code or pseudocode or other technical documentation.
Yours faithfully,
C. F.

They were a bit confused about who we were, but hopefully I've given them enough information to explain who we are and these sort of requests.

Hello HETI team,
My name is Ben, and I work for the OpenAustralia Foundation. We run a
service called Right to Know that allows people to request information
from the government.
I'm trying to find a contact email address for the informal access
request team. According to
[14]https://www.heti.nsw.gov.au/about-heti/g...
correct email address is [15][email address], however a
request sent to that email received a bounce back (see here:
[16]https://www.righttoknow.org.au/request/i...)
Can you advise the best email address to use for a request like this?
Kind Regards,
Ben
