Couple applications
Couple applications are not regarded as special considerations. Applicants who wish to be allocated to the same hospital as their partner (who is also applying for an Intern [PGY1] position) should submit identical preferences on their intern application and both upload a scanned, jointly signed letter stating that they are seeking joint placement. The SA IMET will endeavour, whenever possible, to allocate couples to the same hospital but this cannot be guaranteed.
It is important to note, when applying for couple applications, the 'Optimised Preference Program' has a special sequence for couple applications. For details of this sequence refer to the 'Optimised Preference Program' page
