Professional development requirements for current supervisors

There are no mandated minimum requirement of supervisor professional development (PD) in 2023 for currently accredited supervisors. 

National supervisor PD expectations for accredited supervisors from 2024, are yet to be determined. Supervisors will be involved in these decisions.  



Our 2023 focus 

The focus of PD in 2023 for established supervisors is familiarisation with our approach to GP training and our platforms. 
  • There are resources and education to support you with in-practice teaching, registrar workplace-based assessments, and completing reporting requirements. 
  • Your region will offer and support a range of supervisor PD activities similar to those previously offered by Regional Training Organisations. These will include online learning modules, webinars, and regional workshops


Professional development requirements for new supervisors 

From 2023 new supervisors will be required to complete a Foundations of GP Supervision course before being accredited as a supervisor. 

Foundations of GP Supervision Course

  • consists of eight modules 
  • please contact your regional team to enrol in workshops in your region

New primary supervisors 

  • will complete the first seven modules before their registrar commences 
  • will complete a final module designed to reinforce learning from the earlier modules, 6-12 months after the registrar commences. 

New secondary supervisors  

  • will be required to complete modules 4,6,7 prior to commencement
