Part A - the comparability assessment 

What is a comparability assessment?

Part A of the application is the comparability assessment. It assesses how your experience and training compare to an Australian trained GP at the point of admission to Fellowship.

For information on the comparability criteria, refer to the PEP SP Comparability Assessment Guide.

There are three possible outcomes to the comparability assessment. You can be assessed as

  • Substantially Comparable → you’re eligible for the Substantially Comparable stream
  • Partially Comparable → you’re eligible for the Partially Comparable stream
  • Not Comparable

If you’re assessed as Not Comparable, you’re not eligible for entry into PEP SP. Contact becomeagp@racgp.org.au for more information on other registration pathways (Standard Pathway or Competent Authority Pathway) and Fellowship pathways (IMG Roadmap to RACGP Fellowship). Contact Ahpra for further guidance.
