All general practice training sites with a registrar in any term other than extension awaiting fellowship undertake supervisor professional development activities. To support this, RACGP will pay a practice supervisory stipend. The expected hours and matched stipend are:
 

 
How each of the individual accredited supervisors within the training post contribute to the total number of hours is at the discretion of the practice but should reflect the learning needs of the supervisors. Over the course of the three-year accreditation cycle each of the accredited supervisors in the practice are required to participate in SPD. Activities accepted as SPD are determined in the regions and will be communicated to supervisors and practices via newsletters and email.

Supervisors in MMM3-7 locations will be able to apply for reimbursement of their travel expenses for attending face to face supervisor workshops.

The RACGP has identified training sites in priority areas of workforce need that have difficulty in obtaining a registrar. Supervisors in these training sites, called ‘incentivised placement practices’, are eligible for payment for attendance, travel and accommodation costs for RACGP approved SPD events even when their practice does not have a registrar. The list of incentivised placements are available at racgp.org.au/education/gp-training/gps-in-training/placement-incentives. Payment will be made to the practice after a supervisor from the practice attends a SPD event.
