A Milestone Year for the MTS: 53% response rate from doctors in training

Transforming trainee feedback into meaningful change

This year saw a big lift in MTS participation rates, with more than half Australia’s doctors in training completing the annual survey.

In 2026, 53% of doctors in training helped shape the future of medical education and training in Australia.

Thankyou! The Medical Board of Australia is grateful to every trainee who made time to do the 2026 MTS.

What’s next?

• Early December 2026: 2026 MTS results will be published in a suite of reports.
• January 2027: 2026 results will be loaded into the interactive MTS data dashboard so you can explore the latest results, check trends and create your own tailored reports.
• Early 2027: An updated MTS website will be launched, with upgrades to the data dashboard and improvements to help you engage more easily with the data and learn more about the impact of trainee feedback.

Why your voice matters

Every year, the Medical Training Survey (MTS) provides a national platform for doctors in training to share their experiences and perspectives of medical training in Australia.

Annual MTS results build a clear picture of what is working well and where improvements are needed.

Educators, employers, regulators and policymakers use MTS feedback to strengthen supervision, workplace culture, wellbeing, and learning environments for doctors in training.

The Medical Board of Australia runs the MTS with strict privacy protections to ensure responses remain confidential. The survey was designed withand for doctors in training and will continue to evolve based on your feedback.
