Part B – job offer approval assessment
Last revised: 01 Jul 2025
The place where you secure employment is where you’ll be completing your period of supervised practice.
The RACGP doesn’t have any role in finding you suitable employment – it’s solely your responsibility. You may contact a Rural Health Workforce Agency or a medical recruitment agency for assistance.
To be approved by the RACGP, your job offer must be in a practice that:
(Location requirements are determined by the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing and are subject to change outside the control of the RACGP.)
While you complete your period of supervised practice, the following definitions will apply: Full-time general practice experience is defined as at least 38 hours distributed over a minimum of four days per week. A minimum of 27 hours must be in face-to-face, rostered, patient consultation time undertaking general practice activities. Work periods of less than three consecutive hours, or of less than four calendar weeks in any one practice will not be considered. Hours worked beyond this fulltime definition won't be considered.
Part-time general practice experience is defined as at least 14.5 hours distributed over a minimum of two days per week, of which at least 10.5 hours is face-to-face, rostered, patient consultation time, undertaking general practice activities. Work periods of less than three consecutive hours, or of less than four calendar weeks in any one practice won't be considered.
PEP-SP participants will typically complete their period of supervised practice in a regional, rural or remote area (ie an area classified as MM2–MM7 under the Modified Monash Model).
