About
The Mater-Calvary Network has a proud tradition of providing excellent training for PGY1 and PGY2 Commonwealth Funded Medical Interns. For many years, we have provided an excellent training pathway for international students from Australian medical schools to complete HETI and AHPRA registration and ultimately progress into specialist training pathways.
All of our previous PGY1 and PGY2 trainees have progressed onto the specialist pathways of their choice. We love seeing our trainees succeed, and have invested in making sure that this success continues into the future. We offer a number of unique training opportunities.
