Civilian general practice placements
ADF registrars complete the same training and education requirements as non‑ADF registrars during civilian placements. However, your employment arrangements differ because you remain a full-time ADF employee throughout your training. This means:
- the practice does not employ you directly
- your ADF service branch (Army, Navy, or Air Force) must approve your civilian placement
- your pay and entitlements continue through the ADF.
Practice diversity requirement (2-practice requirement)
ADF registrars meet the practice diversity requirement through:
- your work in a Garrison Health Centre, and
- your civilian general practice placement.
This means a single civilian practice can support you for the duration of your training if all parties agree.
