Starting Out is an Australian television soap opera made for the Nine Network by the Reg Grundy Organisation in 1983.

Background

The series was the network's replacement for The Young Doctors and was set at a medical college with an emphasis on young people getting their first experience of living away from home and leading independent lives.

Regular cast

The youthful cast included Gary Sweet, David Clencie, Nikki Coghill, Tottie Goldsmith and Peter O'Brien, whilst more experienced cast members complementing the young leads included Jill Forster and Anne Phelan, Gerard Maguire and the late Australian veteran actor and comedian Maurie Fields

Cancellation

The series failed to gain sufficient ratings and was quickly cancelled and removed from the schedules. The unscreened episodes were screened out-of-ratings in late 1983.
