| Guide for use: | CODE 1 Student/ Pre-entry trainee Health professional students or pre-entry trainees are those who have commenced or are undertaking a course in a higher education facility—including those offering Vocational education and training (VET)—where the course is required for initial registration for, or qualification to, practice as a health professional in Australia. The course may be at a certificate, diploma, undergraduate, graduate-entry or postgraduate level. CODE 2 New graduate Health professional new graduates are those who have graduated from a course and gained a qualification to practice as a health professional in Australia. Health professional new graduates may be in an existing new graduate training program or their first or second year post graduation.

They may also be known as Transition to Professional Practice programs. University graduates from medical school and some allied health schools that have graduated and are undertaking postgraduate prevocational training (Internship) are considered new graduates. CODE 3 Postgraduate/Vocational student Health professional postgraduate/vocational students are those who have gained an initial qualification to practice as a health professional in Australia and are commencing or undertaking postgraduate or vocational training in the health professional field for the purpose of specialising or extending their scope of practice in their qualified health profession. Health professional postgraduate/vocational students may be employed by an establishment while undertaking clinical/professional education and training requirements for an accredited course. | ||||||||
