How to become a remote supervisor

To work as a remote supervisor, you will need to be accredited as a remote supervisor. In addition to meeting the regular RACGP supervisor accreditation requirements, a remote supervisor is required to have: 

  • Experience and competence as a supervisor  
  • The availability and ability to travel to the remote location
  • Previous working experience in the remote location or similar 
  • Ability to use practice software and manage IT connectivity 
  • Creativity and commitment to provide high level remote support 
  • Completion of the remote supervision online module 

Remote supervisors can choose to be involved as a primary or secondary supervisor and/or be part of the RACGP remote supervisor pool to provide leave cover or temporary supervision when a primary on-site or remote supervisor is unavailable. 

How to become a new remote supervision training site

This is a location with a need for a GP, and a clear desire from the community for someone to fill this role.  In addition to meeting the regular training site requirements, a remote training site requirements include:   

  • No (or limited) onsite accredited supervisor 
  • Willingness to engage a GP registrar and to provide cultural support
  • Adequate consulting space and equipment
  • Suitable and safe housing
  • Good reliable IT connectivity
  • A willingness to establish an onsite supervision team

Please view the remote supervision training site requirements document for the complete list of accreditation requirements.

How to become a remotely supervised registrar

Remote supervision enables a supported and safe training term in a location that would not normally be available for the registrar.  It can provide a greater engagement with a supervisor than a normal traditional term late in the training period.  Requirements for a registrar to undertake a remotely supervised term include: 

  • GPT 2+ with the appropriate skill level, competence, and experience to work in the chosen location 
  • Willingness to work remotely in a team environment within the constraints of the location  
  • Attributes such as awareness of personal limitations, ability to utilise feedback, good communication skills etc.
  • Ability and willingness to use IT resources to enable remote support
