| 2028 | SA MET centralised PGY2+ expression of interest | main | — | — | — | — | — | expected | samet.org.au | Based on 4 previous years (2023–2026 EOIs opened 10–14 Jun, closed 1–6 Jul); recruitment-cycles.md: 'EOIs open in June' annually [C]; offers mid-Sep in rounds; late vacancy from late Oct. |
| 2026 | SANTRATS - SA/NT Rotational Anaesthesia Training Scheme | main | — | — | 2 Sept 2025 | — | — | expected | reddit.com | SANTRATS has no row in the seed at all. Community (3 reports, https://www.reddit.com/r/ausjdocs/comments/1n6d6la/): shortlisting flagged from 22 Aug 2025, interview invites out 2 Sep 2025, rejection letters 15 Sep 2025; a further report of no SANTRATS interview on 20 Sep 2025 (https://www.reddit.com/r/ausjdocs/comments/1nlrfls/sa_critical_care_jobs_l/). It runs on its own clock with two intakes a year and closes 2-3 weeks after going live, so a fixed annual window should not be assumed; a round had 'just closed' by 4 Apr 2025 (https://www.reddit.com/r/ausjdocs/comments/1jqzc4o/). Official mechanism (ANZCA, https://www.anzca.edu.au/education-and-training/anaesthesia-training-and-pathways/anaesthesia-training-program/anaesthesia-training-sites-and-rotations/accredited-training-sites-south-australia-and-northern-territory): SA Health advertises the positions on the SA Health careers site and ANZCA mirrors them on the SANTRATS page - so the scrapable campaign lives on SA Health Careers, not on samet.org.au. Community also reports it favours SA/NT applicants and that independent/service anaesthetics registrar jobs appear on SA Health Careers all year and must be searched by program name, not job title. |

Dots are the median stated date of the hand-read reports the encoders matched to that campaign, weighted by how many comments said so; where none were matched, the median posting date of comments saying a campaign for that state opened, closed, interviewed or offered in the same calendar year — a sanity check on the official date, not a date. Dates drift a week or two each year.
"Usually closes" is the modal month and its share; under three ads and we don't call it. An ad re-advertised three times counts three times. Outside NSW the record starts when we began scraping each portal.
