Withdrawal policy

Entitlements

You’re entitled to different types of leave from your training program.

TIP

We manage your training program leave. You’ll need to speak to your employer about leave you can take from your training site. The leave you’re entitled to may differ between workplaces and Australian states and territories. Ensure you check what your allowances are on the relevant government website.

Every 12 months in GP training, you can take the following leave:

20 days of annual leave
10 days of sick or carers leave.

All types of leave must be submitted via the change in circumstance form on the FSP portal. Remember to advise and/or negotiate this leave with your training site prior to the leave request.

You should also discuss your plans for leave with your program officer and ME as early as possible, because there may be implications for your training plan, sitting Fellowship exams and your completion of training.

If your leave extends beyond a reasonable timeframe (for the particular category of leave), your program and education team may consider withdrawing you from the training program as per the Withdrawal Policy.
