The RACGP is committed to delivering a high-quality GP training program that educates GPs to provide appropriate healthcare to address the needs of all population groups across Australian communities. To achieve this, we partner with accredited training practices and accredited GP supervisors to provide quality education and training to GP registrars. Our goal is to ensure that GP registrars are exposed to holistic care and emulate behaviours and attributes of a highly professional GP.
 
Following the transition of GP training back to the RACGP in February 2023, the college has developed workforce priority plans for each state and territory. These plans have been informed by the Workforce Planning and Prioritisation Organisation (WPPO) reports, as well as previous RTO data and local knowledge. The RACGPs workforce priority plans are designed to ensure that registrar workforce is distributed in a way that supports communities being able to access the care that they need.



We are seeking to accredit a limited number of new training sites in identified areas of workforce need. We are specifically looking for training sites and supervisors who are committed to maintaining a culture of teaching and learning and can be relied upon to deliver high-quality, safe training for GP registrars in accordance with the following:

*A GP Catchment is a geographical measure used in the Department of Health and Aged Care’s (DOHAC) HeadsUpp database.

If you are unsure what GP Catchment your practice is located in, you can check this on the Health Workforce Locator. You will need to check the box for ‘DWS Specialists’ – All. The GP Catchment will be listed at the very bottom.

Check your area


If you want to check your practice is in the exact identified area of workforce need, visit training regions and click on your state. The MMM areas are listed.

The accreditation process 

For more information on the accreditation process, including the eligibility criteria for training practices and clinical safety and competence regulations please review the AGPT accreditation application handbook.

  Note

  • The training site accreditation process generally takes 3-6 months. Supervisors need to complete the Foundations of GP Supervision modules as part of the accreditation process. Training sites and supervisors are not able to participate in the placement process for an upcoming semester until they have completed the full accreditation process.
  • The accreditation of a training site does not guarantee that the site will receive a registrar.
