Find a supportive community that advocates for your training and welfare needs
JMO Victoria (formerly known as JMO Forum Victoria) is a team of junior doctors who represent, advocate for, and support all junior doctors in Victoria.
JMOs can often feel like they’re alone and that their voices aren’t heard in the healthcare service. Pair that with the long and often-complicated process of medical education and training, and it can be a daunting experience.
In order to overcome these challenges and provide a supportive community for other JMOs, JMO Victoria was formed. We advocate for and support all JMOs by assessing, escalating, and improving the professional development, training needs and the welfare of other junior doctors.
We’re non-membership organisation, and thus represent all junior doctors in Victoria. We are supported by the Postgraduate Medical Council of Victoria (PMCV).
