For supervisors
Last revised: 15 Dec 2025
Each registrar must have a designated supervisor. A designated supervisor is the supervisor who has full responsibility for a registrar’s teaching, assessment, supervision and for the training site supervisory team. Only an accredited specialist GP can be the designated supervisor for a GP registrar in a training site. The designated supervisor is the RACGP’s main point of contact regarding the registrar. In a training site with multiple registrars there may be one designated supervisor for each registrar, or one supervisor may be the designated supervisor for up to three registrars. The designated supervisor is linked to the registrar in the TMS.
Other accredited supervisors can assist the designated supervisor or act as deputy when the designated supervisor is absent. Other accredited supervisors should be listed in the TMS to ensure they can assist the supervisor in completing assessments and so that the training site is correctly awarded supervisor professional development hours completed by all accredited supervisors in the training site.
In GPT3 and extended skills in general practice terms, other specialist GPs in the training site who are not accredited are allowed to contribute to the day-to-day supervision of the registrar up to 20% of the time a registrar is consulting. A specialist GP, who is not an accredited supervisor, isn’t required to be recorded in the TMS and can’t complete assessments. Supervision of a GP registrar by a doctor who does not hold specialist general practitioner recognition is never permitted.
