Special Consideration: 2025 Annual Cycle

• Personal consideration motivations will be considered during the application process.
• Approval is subject to review by a carefully selected committee.
• Where an applicant’s allocation potentially impacts upon the needs of a child or poses a risk to the health of the applicant due to a predisposing condition, within reason the allocation process will attempt to accommodate such needs.
• Health needs will be restricted to those that require ongoing intensive management and exclude long term illnesses that are stale and only require periodic monitoring. ICSP Online personal motivations will be assessed based on three elements, namely the nature of the motivation, certified supporting documents, and a quantifier.
• Applicants are encouraged to carefully review the required documentation for each of the personal considerations and upload them to their application accordingly.  Failure to comply with the required documents will result in the applicant’s personal consideration not being considered.
• Documents with inaccurate or misleading information will be referred to the statutory body for review of professional conduct of both the applicant and/or the treating clinician as the case may be. 
• However, it should be noted that submitting such a motivation does not guarantee it will be accepted or applied in the allocation processes (dependent on the availability of resources).

Considerations that WILL be considered:

1. Own Health Needs (Own Health will be referred to Health Professional Panel members to approve)
2. Child (up to Grade 12)
3. Pregnancy (Due date between January and April 2025)
4. Social Compact: Consideration will be given for intern and community service applications where two people wish to be placed together, for any of the following reasons:
   • Type A – Couples who are eligible and both applying for community service or internship that wish to be placed together.
   • Type B – Couples where one in the couple (non-applicant) is already completing an internship and where an applicant wishes to be placed with them.
   • Type C – Couples where one in the couple (non-applicant) is permanently employed in a public sector health facility and the applicant wishes to be placed with them.
