Prepare to perform in your Australian anaesthetics training interview

Two ways to rehearse: spoken practice on the real Australian anaesthetics training interview questions, marked as you answer, and an AI interviewer that runs the full panel on video.

Two ways to practise

Rehearse every day. Then sit the full panel.

Spoken practice

Your daily rehearsal

  • Voice to voice on the real Australian anaesthetics training interview questions, one topic at a time
  • The panel listens, probes the way the real one does, then moves on
  • Every answer marked as you finish: a score, what worked and what would lift it
  • Reading time on the clinical scenario before the panel starts, as on the day
  • 5-minute sessions that fit around clinical work

120 to 300 minutes a month, depending on plan

AI interviewer

Your dress rehearsal

  • A video avatar panel runs the whole interview, face to face
  • Fifteen minutes, timed like the real thing, across the topics panels cover
  • Each question asked by the panel member who would ask it on the day
  • A full debrief afterwards: an overall mark, every answer, and what to practise next

1, 2 or 4 full mock interviews a month, depending on plan · try it free for one minute

Your anaesthetic training place is decided four minutes at a time.

Preparation is the only variable you control.

The candidate knows the acute scenario and, in a four minute answer to a silent panel, the answer drifts, stops early, or never reaches the escalation.

The content is fine. The structure is poor, so the answer is poor.

STRUCTURE

BUILT AROUND HOW CANDIDATES ARE ACTUALLY ASSESSED

Every question the panel asks has a structure it is marking against, and that structure is the thing most candidates have never been told.

Each topic has its own framework, its own mark, and its own line on your readiness score — so you can see exactly which of the 9 you still need to work on.

Timed uninterrupted answers

What the interview looks like

  • A network selection panel of two or three anaesthetists

  • In many networks, a four minute uninterrupted answer to each question with a silent panel

  • Questions mapped to the ANZCA roles in practice: medical expert, communicator, collaborator, leader, health advocate, scholar, professional

  • Scenarios at junior registrar level with the expectation of early, clear escalation

SESSION FEEDBACK

FEEDBACK THAT TELLS YOU EXACTLY WHAT TO DO NEXT

When a topic ends, you don't get a vague score. You get a structured debrief aligned to the panel's own marking scheme for Australian anaesthetics training interviews — with frameworks and model answer guidance built in, and a countdown to your interview date sitting above it.

Marked while you answer

A score out of 10, what worked and what would have lifted it — on screen as you finish each answer, not in an email a week later.

Question by question, kept

Every answer in the debrief carries its own mark and its own 'what would have made this stronger', saved to your account so you can come back to it.

Framework-led coaching

Specific suggestions like STARR for leadership answers, with the full guide and model answer guidance a click away.

One readiness score

Your latest mark on every topic, averaged into a single number with a trend line — and a 'practise next' that points at the topic holding it down.

SMARTER NEXT STEPS

FROM FEEDBACK TO FOCUSED PRACTICE

Your weakest answers drive the recommendations. We suggest the right framework for each category, link you to the prep guide, and send you straight to targeted questions in the question bank.

THE OUTCOME

ENTER YOUR INTERVIEW PREPARED TO COMPETE

By the time you sit your real interview, you will have:

  • Answered real Australian anaesthetics training interview questions out loud, under time, and been marked on every one
  • Used the right framework for each topic, and seen where it slipped
  • Watched a readiness score move as your weakest topics came up
  • Run the full panel — the order, the probes, the pressure — before it counted

You won't be wondering how you'll perform.
You will know.

Who writes this

We sit on selection panels and we see the same mistakes from RMO to consultant.

The questions here are mapped to the college's roles in practice and the published selection criteria, built from the formats the college and the networks use and from what candidates report, and the marking follows the criteria the panels score.
