Extended skills training term

Last revised: 19 Dec 2024

Extended skills training term


As part of your core vocational training, you must complete one term (six months FTE) of EST. The aim of the EST term is to give you an opportunity to further your knowledge and skills in an area of specific interest or in need of development.

You may undertake up to six months (FTE) of EST in a Garrison Health Centre provided it has received STE accreditation.

To maintain skills in civilian general practice, an exemption to the part time training requirements may be applied for registrars undertaking an EST composite term at a Garrison Health Centre and a civilian general practice concurrently. Permission from the ADF service and a valid secondment agreement is required.
