The clinical medical staff include specialist forensic physicians and specialist and general practitioners. There are two full-time forensic physicians, a registrar on rotation from the training programme of the Australian College of Accident and Emergency Medicine, sessional specialists and a large number of part-time forensic medical officers scattered throughout the state of Victoria.
