Policy

Page last updated 9 July 2026

From 2027.1 AGPT Registrars who have successfully completed PGY1 and PGY2, in accredited Australian hospitals and gained an AMC PGY2 certificate under the AMC National Framework for Prevocational Medical Training are eligible to apply for a streamlined RPLE (recognition of prior learning and experience) process for hospital terms.

1. Purpose

1.1 The purpose of this policy is to outline the requirements for RPLE applications and outcomes. This includes what can be applied for and the minimum requirements to submit an application to ensure sufficient and relevant learning and experience at the time of application.

2. Scope

2.1 This policy applies to:

    1. Registrars enrolled in the:

      1. Australian General Practice Training (AGPT) Program

      2. Fellowship Support Program (FSP)

      3. Remote Vocational Training Scheme (RVTS)

    2. Registrars withdrawn (voluntarily or involuntarily) from an RACGP-Approved Program

    3. Registrars transferring from the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine's (ACRRM) AGPT Program

    4. Registrars training towards RACGP Rural Generalist Fellowship

2.2 This policy is to be read in conjunction with the:

    1. Academic Misconduct Policy

    2. relevant application handbook

    3. relevant registrar training handbook

      • If there is any inconsistency between this policy and the relevant handbook, the terms of this policy take precedence.

3. General principles

3.1 The RACGP recognises that prior learning and experience may be equivalent to some of the program training requirements, allowing Registrars and GPs to safely reduce their Program Time.

3.2 The Registrar/GP is required to demonstrate that their experience meets the appropriate standard for the application.

3.3 The RACGP seeks to deliver a transparent and fair assessment of prior learning and experience and equitable treatment to all applicants.

3.4 Approved RPLE counts towards the Registrar's Program Time (per the Training Program Requirements Policy) unless the RACGP advises otherwise.

3.5 All RPLE outcomes and decisions are determined at the discretion of the relevant censor.

4. RPLE applications – all training programs

4.1 The Registrar or GP must provide accurate, current, complete and verifiable information in their application.

    1. Where artificial intelligence (AI) tools are used to support the development of the application, this must be declared by the Registrar/GP. Failure to do so will be handled per the Academic Misconduct Policy.

    2. The RACGP will take reasonable steps to verify the information provided in an application. Submission of plagiarised, false or misleading information will be handled per the Academic Misconduct Policy.

4.2 Unless the RACGP advises otherwise, the RACGP will advise the RPLE application outcome:

    1. within eight calendar weeks after a Complete Application is submitted for censor approval, for AGPT and RVTS Registrars and GPs training towards RG Fellowship

    2. by the end of FSP term 1 for FSP Registrars accepted into the 2026.2 program or earlier

    3. with the Registrar's Training Program offer for FSP Registrars accepted in the 2027.1 program or later

4.3 RPLE outcomes will remain valid for the duration of the Registrar's current Training Program or the GP's Rural Generalist Fellowship training, whichever is applicable.

4.4 Once the RPLE application has been submitted for censor approval, the applicant cannot amend, augment or revoke their application.

5. RPLE applications for registrars withdrawn from a program

5.1 Registrars who were voluntarily withdrawn from an RACGP-Approved Program and have re-entered an RACGP-Approved Program:

      2. RPLE credit that was previously approved.

    2. For Registrars entering AGPT or RVTS, the maximum total that can be recognised is 18 months, including up to 12 months of hospital time and up to six months of time in GPT1.
