Requirements for Fellowship

The College sets the standards for training, examinations and assessments in general practice.  Attainment of the Fellowship of the RACGP  is necessary to become vocationally registered for independent general practice in Australia under the Medicare system.

In 2005, the RACGP developed a set of standards designed to ensure that general practice training and assessment met the standards required to prepare those entering unsupervised general practice in Australia.

"Standards for General Practice Education and Training: Programs and Providers" details requirements for providers of GP training.

"Standards for General Practice Education and Training: Trainers and Training Posts" details requirements of training posts and of GP trainers at those posts.

"Requirements for Fellowship" details the requirements for achievement of FRACGP via the various pathways to Fellowship.
