​Initiation in New Gallifrey is the ceremony through which a Candidate or Trainee Healer becomes a full member of New Gallifrey. It is the event which completes either the Initiation Workshop or the Healing Workshop, and occurs after the pairing of a Candidate or Trainee Healer with an existing Patrician or Senior Healer.

For system children or second-generation members of New Gallifrey who joined prior to their eighth birthday, Initiation occurs on the eighth birthday/nameday, as occured on Gallifrey.

At the end of Initiation, the member becomes an official member of New Gallifrey and is an official Student or Healer of a Chapter.

Initiation in New Gallifrey is different from Initiation on Gallifrey, which involved looking into the Untempered Schism, which was "a gap in the fabric of reality from which can be seen the whole of the Vortex" (The Sound of Drums). Initiation on Gallifrey tended to make Gallifreyans either have mental problems (for example, the Master), be inspired (not many examples of this are shown), or run away (The Doctor).
