Purpose: Burnout is a significant issue among surgical trainees, characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced professional efficacy. This review aims to examine the prevalence of burnout among Australian surgical trainees, identify common contributing factors, and evaluate the effectiveness of interventions aimed at mitigating burnout within this population. Methodology: A review of peer-reviewed literature was conducted using databases such as PubMed, and MEDLINE. Inclusion criteria focused on studies addressing burnout in Australian surgical trainees, with data extracted on prevalence, contributing factors (e.g., workload, work-life balance, support structures), and interventions (e.g., mentorship, wellness programs, policy reforms). Results: Six studies fulfill the inclusion criteria. Burnout rates among Australian surgical trainees range from 50% to 70%, with emotional exhaustion as the most prevalent component. Contributing factors include excessive working hours and workload, occupational stress, limited recovery opportunities, and lack of institutional support. Evidence suggests that interventions such as structured wellness programs, peer support, and flexible training schedules can reduce burnout levels, although their implementation varies widely across training institutions. Conclusion: Burnout is significantly affects Australian surgical trainees threatening both their wellbeing and the sustainability of the surgical workforce. There is an urgent need for standardized, evidence-based interventions and institutional reforms to address burnout. Future research should prioritise longitudinal studies to assess the long-term impact of these strategies and inform national policy development.
