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.
