Based in Melbourne, Victoria, PMCV coordinates training opportunities for prevocational doctors across Victorian health services. It seeks to ensure these junior doctors have a voice regarding their training and welfare and works with medical educators to align available supports with their needs. The council also supports graduate doctor recruitment on behalf of health employers through collaborative, transparent, and consistent approaches. By monitoring adherence to Australian Medical Council standards, PMCV aims to promote appropriate supervision and safe patient care. PMCV holds accreditation from the Medical Board of Australia as an intern training accreditation authority and is authorized to review PGY2 posts by the Victorian Department of Health. The organization operates with a small team in Melbourne, and a notable recent development is the 2021 appointment of Dr. Waxman as chair of its Accreditation Committee.
