Financial hardship

Candidates are encouraged to enrol into an examination as soon as possible after enrolments open, and to not wait until the end of the enrolment period. Any candidate experiencing financial hardship may make a request for an alternative payment arrangement by submitting an Application for Special Consideration for Financial Hardship via email to  examinations@racgp.org.au.

Important: The RACGP recognises that at times candidates may be affected by circumstances beyond their control, which may then affect their performance in or attendance at an exam. This includes essential religious observances.

If you wish to apply for special arrangement, you must submit a completed Special Arrangements Application Form  and supporting evidence via email to clinicalexam@racgp.org.au for CCE or examinations@racgp.org.au for AKT/KFP by the close of enrolment date, as per the Fellowship Exams Special Arrangements Policy.

A list of permissible items that candidates are permitted to bring into the exam room without an approved special arrangement can be accessed here: Permissible and non-permissible items.

2027.1 Clinical Competency Exam (CCE)

The 2027.1 CCE is expected to be held in June 2027, consistent with the usual biannual exam cycle. Specific exam and enrolment dates are currently being finalised as we complete planning activities to support future exam delivery to larger candidate numbers. Candidates can be reassured that the timing of the exam is not expected to change significantly, and confirmed dates will be published before the end of 2026. We appreciate your patience and encourage candidates planning to sit the 2027.1 CCE to continue preparing for a June exam period.

Privacy

The RACGP has a Privacy policy that reflects recent changes in Federal and State Privacy legislation. Prior to submitting your exam enrolment, you will be asked to declare that you have read and understood the privacy policy as part of the terms of enrolment in the RACGP Fellowship exams.

Unforeseen circumstances

The RACGP strives to deliver the exams as published, however, in limited circumstances it will need to make changes to the delivery and format of an exam, postpone an exam or even cancel an exam. For example, the RACGP cannot run an exam when enrolment numbers are insufficient to achieve statistically reliable outcomes.

In these circumstances, the RACGP is not liable to candidates for any damages, costs, losses or expenses of any kind incurred or suffered in connection with the exams.
