As a side note. I preferenced Armidale 4th for fifth year and got it. So i’ll be going there in 2024 so I am looking forward to it, to be honest!As Dr LMG said we've never heard of swaps; having said that remember that the JMP is 2 years separated at UNE/UON then a mixed year then everyone scattered across the 6 hospitals (Gosford, Newcastle, Maitland, Tamworth, Taree and Armidale) so you're signing up for 3 years in Armidale not 5*. Pretty much everyone preferences Newcastle (I did) but Armidale is good: tight cohort, good teaching, nice place to live; "best decision I never made".
*it's possible that you'll be placed in Armidale in yr 4 or 5. And remember that ultimately your contract with NSW Health as an intern could put you anywhere in NSW anyway.
I know a girl who actually did manage to swap from UON to UNE, but i think that was a very special circumstance, and also that’s the opposite way the OP wants.
