Intern positions are aligned with priority category groups, allocating applicants to
their highest possible preference until positions are filled. Allocations occur in 3
rounds; round 1 commencing with Category 1.1. applicants, randomly selecting
applicants to be allocated their first preferences. In round 2, all vacant positions are
filled. Applicants may receive an offer for their second or subsequent preferences.
Again, matches are random in accordance with category groups and based upon
applicants’ highest possible preferences. Round 3 fills positions made vacant
through declined offers from previous rounds.
