The Fellowship journey

Fellowship of the RACGP denotes a general practitioner (GP) who provides safe, specialised and high-quality general practice care. It demonstrates to governments, the general practice profession and the community that a doctor is competent to practise safely and unsupervised in any Australian general practice setting – metropolitan, rural, remote and very remote communities. It also allows access to specialist medical registration and A1 Medicare rebates.

The RACGP offers two Fellowships:

  • Fellowship of the RACGP (FRACGP) is what all registrars are training towards on the Fellowship Support Program (FSP).
  • RACGP Rural Generalist Fellowship (FRACGP-RG) is awarded in addition to FRACGP to registrars who complete Rural Generalist training.
