About HNET HNET refers to Hunter New England Training (in Psychiatry) We are recognised as a national leader in psychiatry training. An integrated unit within Hunter New England Mental Health (HNEMH) catering for all the training and administrative needs of medical staff in our service. The HNET Philosophy We believe the HNET philosophy is a unique one in Australian psychiatry training. Our belief is that health service needs should support training and vice versa. We also believe in recognising psychiatry trainees at an early stage and supporting them in their career choice.
We have implemented an Accelerated Psychiatry Program and JMO Teaching Program for Interns in our service to support our most junior medical staff. We place great emphasis on those trainees who join our service, offering a contract to cover the period of basic training, flexibility in work hours, and a tailored training program, all of which have led to very high written and clinical examination success rates since 2004. We offer high quality Advanced Training placements in a range of subspecialty areas in our service and the majority of such Fellows join our service as Staff Specialists upon graduation.
Hunter New England Health - a great place to work, a great place to live HNEMH is part of the HNE Local Health District, a recognised leader in health innovation in Australia. The Hunter New England lifestyle is one of the best on offer in Australia, whether you are seeking comfortable cosmopolitan beach-side living or a semi-rural relaxed lifestyle.

REGISTRAR POSITIONS HNET is proud of its premier Psychiatry Training Program Each year we select 8-10 First Year Trainees to join our Registrar cohort. Psychiatry Trainees who are successful in being appointed to the HNET Network are provided with a tenured training experience, which allows them to fulfill all of their Basic Training requirements with the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (RANZCP). Registrars typically undertake the first 12-months of their training as full time. You will commence your training in Acute Adult Psychiatry, which is available at the Mater Hospital in Newcastle (Waratah), The Maitland Hospital, Morisset Hospital, Manning Base Hospital, or Tamworth Rural Referral Hospital. A 6-month rural rotation is required for psychiatry trainees in NSW and our current sites for this are Tamworth, Armidale and Taree. On secondment, you will receive travel support, accommodation at our expense, a grade higher in pay, and access to the training program via videoconference. Other mandatory basic training experiences are Child and Adolescent, available at the Nexus Inpatient Unit or the Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Hunter Valley, Taree or Tamworth community CAMHS Services; and Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry, available at either the Mater, John Hunter, Maitland, or Tamworth Hospitals. The remainder of training consists of electives and various assessments, including a scholarly project, a long psychotherapy case, workplace based assessments (WBAs) that lead to entrustable professional activities (EPAs), and examinations (both written and clinical).
The type of elective rotations we have available include:
• Various community mental health service rotations
• Older persons psychiatry • Forensic psychiatry • Neuropsychiatry • Rehabilitation psychiatry • Addiction psychiatry • Drug & Alcohol community
secondment • Education and training rotation • Psychotherapy training
HNET is an award-winning training program. In 2008, HNET was a recipient of the HNE Health Quality Award and a finalist in the NSW Health Quality Awards for its training programs. More recently in 2021, HNET was a finalist in the HNE Health Excellence Awards, High Value Health Care Award (People & Culture) with a submission titled “Training and sustaining a psychiatry medical workforce”. Training is tailored to the developmental level of the trainee with specific lectures provided to First Year trainees, trainees midway through their training, and trainees approaching examinations. Teachers include local experts as well as binational and international experts. Trainees are paid to attend lectures during work time and lectures are not interrupted by pagers or mobile phones. HNET has an excellent reputation for training that is exemplified by the success of our trainees – HNET registrars are highly successful in their RANZCP examinations, evidenced by a high pass percentage comparative to the rest of Australia and New Zealand.
Since 2007, the local Formal Education Course has been provided free of any cost to HNE network trainees!
We honestly believe that HNET is not only the best psychiatry training program in NSW but one of the best in Australia and New Zealand. But don’t ask us - speak to our trainees and Consultants.

What happens after Basic Training? Following successful completion of Basic Training requirements, registrars are invited to apply for Advanced Training positions in the generalist stream or in the subspecialty streams. Advanced Trainees are supported to attend an appropriate educational program, as part of their work time. Ultimately, we hope that our trainees will take up a senior position in our organisation as a Staff Specialist. HNET encompasses the full spectrum of Advanced Training opportunities available under the RANZCP Recent HNET Advanced Trainees have achieved subspecialty Advanced Training Certificates in the following subspecialties: • Adult • Child and Adolescent • Consultation-Liaison • Forensic • Older Persons • Psychotherapy • Addiction Formal training for Advanced Trainees is generally organised on a Statewide or even binational level HNET supports its ATs in attending formal training programs with paid study leave. We also recognise that Advanced Training is a particularly important phase in your development as a Consultant Psychiatrist and therefore provide a local training and mentoring program to assist you in the development of professional and consultant level skills in order to prepare you for the next step in your career.
Our advanced trainees form peer review groups in preparation for formal CPD requirement and play key leadership roles in the service, often taking on senior tasks such as developing policies and guidelines, committee participation, organisation of training programs and administration for other medical staff. HNET also welcomes applications for Advanced Training from suitable Registrars not currently working for HNE Local Health District.
The Medical Education Support Officer is a full-time role dedicated to training and is the main point of contact for College Trainees. Philippa Ditton-Phare organises regular training sessions for Stage One and Stage Two registrars, as well as exam preparation sessions for College written examinations. The training scheme keeps a record of all training activities and can advise on trainees’ College trajectory. It is important to note that training for College trainees in our region is free! One of the impressive achievements of HNET is that all of its formal training programs are delivered in live sessions with face-to-face delivery, as well as being videoconferenced to enable trainees to participate in education from distant sites. It also means that we are in high demand from trainees in other parts of rural Australia to provide formal training.

Your Psychiatry Training Opportunity of a Lifetime
The SES Psychiatry Training Network boasts a range of career, lifestyle and training opportunities that are unsurpassed. We are a large Psychiatry Training Network in New South Wales providing a complete Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (RANZCP) accredited program from Basic through to Proficient and completion of Advanced Training.
Trainees rotate through all the mandatory terms and have a choice of a broad range of additional placements including subspecialties as diverse as Old Age Psychiatry, Child Psychiatry, Early Intervention, Emergency Psychiatry, private hospitals, Peri-Natal Psychiatry, Justice Health, Psychotherapy and Intellectual Disability Psychiatry. There are many professorial units to which registrars can be allocated, including the Black Dog Institute, CRUfAD and Neuropsychiatry.
Our hospitals and community clinics hug the coast from iconic Byron Bay through Bondi to Jervis Bay and in between.
We include three universities, multiple teaching hospitals and over one hundred and thirty RANZCP positions. Many services have supportive RMO rotations.
Each site has a local psychiatrist who coordinates training. The trainees have a strong voice in plans for training, from the multiple trainee representatives on the Network Training Committee to Trainee Representatives allocated at each hospital. We have an enviable pass rate in the RANZCP exams, supported by specific teaching in examination technique.
Although we span a large service, each six month rotation sees you as part of a small functioning unit with its own culture and cohesion. You will have variety, from rural to inner city, the richest and the poorest areas of NSW, from pre-natal mental health to old age. Registrars are a welcome part of the team, working alongside psychiatrists.
