Australian Defence Force Registrars Guide AGPT Program
Training program requirements
Last revised: 19 Dec 2024
You must complete 52 weeks (FTE) of training in a hospital before you can start your core vocational training, and you must meet the same hospital training requirements as non-ADF registrars as detailed in the AGPT Registrar Training Handbook.
Hospital training gives you valuable experience in a range of clinical disciplines relevant to general practice.
It is your responsibility to make placement arrangements for the hospital year and to notify your regional ADF team of the hospital term(s) you plan to complete.
We strongly recommend that you focus on gaining paediatric, adolescent, antenatal, geriatric, chronic disease and multimorbidity experiences where possible, as these clinical exposures will be limited in further stages of training due to your ADF commitments.
Interstate posting orders and officer training at the end of the hospital year can put the completion of your hospital training year at risk. Please liaise with your service and with your regional ADF team if you have any concerns.
