Last Friday the 12th of December, we welcomed members of the current JMO Victoria Committee and the incoming 2026 Committee as they came together to discuss what was achieved in the last 12 months and priorities for the new year.

Throughout the day the JMO Vic team met with their PMCV representatives to assist with their planning process. They also participated in a Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural education session presented by Joint Colleges Training Services - JCTS.

It was a very successful day, and we look forward to seeing what the JMO Vic Committee will be working on in 2026.

PMCV would like to congratulate the recipient of the Regional Health Service Innovation and Excellence Award - Echuca Regional Health!

Echuca Regional Health's 'Culture Safety and Inclusion’ program incorporates several activities that aim to strengthen relationships with Community as well as improve the understanding and knowledge of First Nations experience within the health services’ prevocational doctors. Some aspects of the program include the involvement of Aboriginal Liaison Officers (ALO) in orientation, monthly yarning circles, on-country immersion day and Intern education cultural awareness sessions.

Echuca Regional Health is very proud of their dynamic and passionate ALOs, their connection to local Elders and Community and are committed to embedding Cultural Safety and Inclusion within every facet of their health service.

We once again commend the team at Echuca for their efforts to support prevocational doctors and their local community!

PMCV would like to congratulate the recipient of the Metropolitan Health Service Innovation and Excellence Award - Northern Health!

Northern Health's 'Introduction to Clinical Governance' program was created to encourage PGY1 & PGY2 doctors to become involved in Quality, Safety and other Governance processes has previously been haphazard and relied heavily on the JMO meeting an appropriate mentor. The program began in March 2025 and quickly gained traction amongst prevocational doctors, who recall presentations given at the time of launch and are still approaching the team in the corridors or via email. The program is overseen by Northern Doctors Education in conjunction with the Medical Lead for Clinical Governance, creating both a centralised contact point for JMOs and a means to promote Clinical Governance activities.

We once again commend the team from Northern Health for your incredible efforts to support your prevocational doctors!

Did you know that PMCV has appointed JMO Representatives at each Victorian health service?

Introduced in 2024, this role acts as the connection between prevocational doctors, PMCV, health services and JMO Victoria providing valuable insights from a local level. This will ultimately strengthen the prevocational training experience for both current and future cohorts.

There will be recruitments for JMO Health Service Representatives in 2026. If you are interested you can read more about the role in preparation here: https://buff.ly/GpUKFlJ

Jonathan worked with PMCV for twelve years - including nine years as Board Chair. Across this time he was instrumental in advancing PMCV’s vision to uphold high standards for prevocational doctors.

There are a number of health services who have Accreditation Mid-Cycle Reviews and Survey Visits in 2026.

If you are a prevocational doctor at one of these health services, it is important to provide feedback on any rotations you have completed and get involved in JMO focus groups to assist PMCV in its Accreditation process. This will ensure that all training and education programs are safe, supervised and supported.
