About CPMEC

The Confederation of Postgraduate Medical Education Councils (CPMEC) is an association of Postgraduate Medical Councils (PMCs) of each State or Territory in Australia and the equivalent agency in New Zealand.

CPMEC comprises the following organisations:

PMCs are responsible for developing, supporting and implementing the education and training of junior doctors during their prevocational years (usually postgraduate years 1 and 2). PMCs also have a role in provision of general support for this group of junior doctors and in provision of education and general support for International Medical Graduates (IMGs) working in junior medical positions in Australian hospitals. In some states PMCs also have responsibility for the training and support of Career Medical Officers (CMOs), doctors who choose not to undertake vocational training but continue to work in the public health system, particularly in emergency departments, mental health services, and community health services. In addition, IMET in NSW supports vocational training lead by the specialist medical colleges.
