Training site considerations
You must undertake all training within Australia and Australian external territories (eg Ashmore and Cartier Islands, Christmas Island, Cocos [Keeling] Islands, Coral Sea Islands, Australian Antarctic Territory, Territory of Heard Island, McDonald Islands and Norfolk Island).
Declaration of conflict of interest
A pre-existing personal relationship between a registrar and a member of staff at their training site could create a conflict of interest and lead to poor training, particularly if that person were a supervisor, practice manager or practice owner.
If you have any type of close personal or dependent relationship with a staff member at the training site where you wish to train, you and the training site must disclose this to us as a potential conflict of interest at the start of the application process by emailing fspadmin@racgp.org.au. Examples of what you need to declare are spousal/partner relationships and visa sponsorship arrangements.
Furthermore, registrars are not allowed to nominate a training site where there is a significant pre-existing relationship with the supervisor, practice owner or practice manager, unless there are extenuating circumstances.
You must also declare to use any business interest you have with the site or its affiliations.
