Applying for a comparability assessment

Why do I need a comparability assessment?

The comparability assessment is an important part of your application into the PEP SP because its outcome will determine whether you are eligible for entry into the PEP SP and, if eligible, which PEP SP stream you can apply for.

The PEP SP has two streams: the Substantially Comparable stream and the Partially Comparable stream.

If you are assessed as Substantially Comparable, you are eligible for the Substantially Comparable stream.
If you are assessed as Partially Comparable, you are eligible for the Partially Comparable stream.
If you are assessed as Not Comparable, you are not eligible for entry into the PEP SP. However, you may be eligible to gain medical registration via other registration pathways (eg Standard Pathway or Competent Authority Pathway), and to apply for entry into another RACGP Fellowship Pathway. Please contact becomeagp@racgp.org.au for more information.

Tip

For more information about the program requirements for each stream, go to the PEP SP Participant Handbook - Partially Comparable Stream or PEP SP Participant Handbook - Substantially Comparable Stream.
