Welcome
Empowering Clinical Supervisors
Welcome to the official website of the Standardised Supervisor Training System (SSTS) Project. Led by a consortium of six Australian medical colleges—RANZCO, RACS, RANZCOG, CICM, RANZCR, and RACMA—the project is committed to advancing excellence in medical supervision. Together, we are developing a suite of resources, including the SSTS online learning platform, to support clinical supervisors in their essential role across Australia’s healthcare system.

About SSTS
The Standardised Supervisor Training System (SSTS) project is an initiative funded by the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care that strongly focuses on supporting supervisors in rural and remote areas of Australia. Its key goals are to:
- Support supervisors in rural and remote settings by providing targeted training and resources to build local capacity and strengthen medical education in these regions.
- Define supervisory role capabilities to establish clear expectations and guide best practices across clinical contexts.
- Develop a nationally relevant curriculum, training resources, selection processes, and performance feedback systems to ensure consistent and high-quality supervision.
- Improve the consistency of supervision across all medical specialties, promoting alignment and coherence in the learning experience.
- Embed cultural safety across every aspect of the project, ensuring supervision is respectful, inclusive, and responsive to the needs of all learners and communities.
