Post-education component fees
The post-education phase begins once you finish your allocated training program time and ends when you attain Fellowship.
The post-education phase of PEP ST gives you time to fulfil Fellowship requirements, including accruing sufficient general practice experience (as assessed by the Assessment of General Practice Experience Policy) and completing your Fellowship exams. It ends when you:
- achieve Fellowship of the RACGP
- enter another RACGP Fellowship program (such as AGPT or FSP), or
- withdraw from the program – voluntarily or involuntarily.
What does the post-education fee cover?
The post-education fee covers:
- program administration and IT infrastructure
- authorisation of Medicare provider number applications and extensions
- monitoring exam eligibility and progress.
The fee doesn’t cover:
- attendance at optional paid exam preparation courses and workshops
- travel, accommodation, and additional expenses that you may incur while training
- general practice experience assessments
- enrolment in Fellowship exams
- application for RACGP Fellowship
- remediation, if required.
