Additional Information
Please read all information carefully.

To register please complete and return this form to the email or postal address indicated.

If your Medical Grade is of PGY2 & above you are eligible to register for ICU Basic.
All other medical officers below this level can still apply; however will be placed on a waiting
list. If the chosen course is not full you will then be accepted for the course.
Preference is also given to medical and nursing staff currently in ICU and ED or those
intending to be placed there.

Please note that places cannot be reserved until payment has been received.
Places will be offered on an “as required” basis; therefore each application will be
considered and ranked according to the clinical need of each individual. Please detail your
need for the course in the section provided on the registration form to indicate how you
believe you will benefit from completing the BASIC course.

Applications will be considered and processed six (6) weeks prior

to the relevant course date.
ICU & ED staff applying within the last four (4) weeks will not be given priority.
Applications of less than one (1) week before the course are strongly advised against as it
does not allow you sufficient time for pre-course preparation and exam.

If you are currently working at the John Hunter Hospital at the time the pre-reading
materials are released you are expected to collect them rather than opting to have them
delivered, where possible. Further, it is your responsibility to update your details such as
email address, postal address, credit card information etc. should they change at any point
after submitting your application. Not doing so may result in your payment being declined
and/or pre-reading materials not being delivered to you correct address; both of which will
hinder the time given to complete you mandatory pre-course learning and assessment.
