Reconsideration of a decision

From time to time the RACGP makes decisions about matters other than those which relate to your training program (eg exam results, eligibility for Fellowship).

If you’re unhappy with the outcome of a decision that isn’t related to your training program, you may apply for a reconsideration of the decision. Reconsiderations are handled by the RACGP national team. There are important things to note if you wish to apply for a reconsideration:

• Reconsiderations are managed under the Dispute, Reconsideration and Appeals Policy. You should review the policy before applying for reconsideration of a decision.
• The national team will only consider an application for reconsideration of a decision that isn’t related to your training program. If you want to dispute a decision relating to your training program, refer to Dispute of a decision.
• You have 10 business days after we notify you of the original decision to apply for a reconsideration.
•  Reconsideration applications attract a fee as they’re not related to your training program. You will need to pay this fee before the decision can be reconsidered.
