Overview of the AGPT program
Last revised: 15 Dec 2025
Workplace-based learning in community general practice under supervision is the core of general practice training. An in-practice teaching plan is developed by supervisors with each registrar based on their learning needs and the context of the training site. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health is a core unit of the RACGP Curriculum and syllabus in which all registrars are expected to develop competence. Cultural safety training is included in workshops at the regional and local levels.
The primary in-practice teaching activity is discussion of the registrar’s cases. Refer to the section on In-practice teaching for further information.
In-practice teaching also provides an opportunity for the supervisor to provide mentoring, support and feedback on performance.
Registrars participate in a minimum of 125 hours of out-of-practice education, such as larger regional workshops, peer-led small group learning sessions and exam preparation as part of their out-of-practice time requirements.
