Have your say: 2026 Medical Training Surveys

Doctors in training across Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand are encouraged to participate in the 2026 medical training surveys. These surveys provide valuable insights into the quality of medical training and help shape a safer, more supportive training environment for everyone. 

Australia – Medical Training Survey

The Medical Training Survey (MTS) is a national, annual, profession-wide survey administered by the Medical Board of Australia. Data from seven years of MTS results has built a robust evidence-base that’s driving improvements in training and shaping trainees’ choices. 

The 2026 MTS will be open to all doctors in training from 4 August to 8 October. 

Visit the MTS website to learn more about how your voice contributes to better training experiences. 

Aotearoa New Zealand – Torohia  

Torohia is the Medical Council’s annual online survey for doctors across Aotearoa New Zealand to feed back on their education and training experiences. The survey will be open from 31 August to 28 September 2026 and will gather feedback on medical training, including workplace culture, clinical experiences, supervision, wellbeing, training opportunities and future career intentions.

The insights from Torohia will help inform improvements that support retention, wellbeing, and training quality.

To find out more, visit the Torohia website.

Your feedback matters

Participation in both surveys is voluntary but strongly encouraged. Higher participation leads to higher-quality data and a stronger evidence base to inform continuous improvements in medical training. 

By sharing your experiences, you can contribute to systemic improvements in medical training and support the next generation of psychiatrists and healthcare professionals.
