Educational activities 

Educational activities include mandatory and optional tasks to be completed during your training program. They’ve been designed to assist you in transitioning to the Australian general practice context.


During your training program, you must complete eight modules covering the following topics:

  • Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health

  • Australian general practice skills

  • Doctor’s health

  • Addressing doctors’ health: caring for ourselves and our colleagues

  • Introduction to working in Australian general practice

  • Managing legal dimensions in general practice

  • Introduction to prescribing in general practice

  • Introduction to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural awareness

These modules can be accessed via the gplearning platform once you’ve signed the program agreement and paid the program fees.

You may start completing the modules before you start work in your approved practice. We anticipate it’ll take you around 25–30 hours in total to complete all these modules.

Completing the modules is one of the FRACGP eligibility requirements.


Throughout your training program, you’ll be invited to attend monthly small group learning (SGL) sessions facilitated by a medical educator. They’ll assist in furthering your understanding of the Australian general practice context.

SGL sessions are semi-structured and tailored to the group’s learning needs, for example:

  • Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health

  • General practice systems

  • Clinical reasoning

  • Preventative health care

Each session is run via videoconferencing and lasts 1–1.5 hours. We’ll provide you with a calendar of SGL sessions and enrolment details when you commence your program.
