Deployments and exercises within Australia
Deployments and exercises conducted in Australia may count towards your EST term, provided the deployment or exercise is appropriately supervised and demonstrates development of skills and learning relevant to general practice. Expected learning outcomes must be provided in the application and signed off by a supervisor at the completion of the placement.
You can apply to have up to 26 weeks of deployment or exercise within Australia recognised as EST.
Deployments and exercises within Australia can’t be recognised as training time towards GPT1,2 or 3.
How to apply
Submit an Application for ADF registrar courses, deployments and exercises within Australia prior to commencing the deployment/exercise.
If you are deployed urgently, your regional ADF team will work with the National Lead Medical Educator – ADF to initiate the recognition process.
Once a training term is completed, retrospective recognition of deployments/exercises towards that training term cannot be granted.
