Registrar safety and support


Your safety and wellbeing

Work health and safety

We recognise our responsibility to promote the safety and wellbeing of registrars and minimise risk factors as far as practicable throughout the training program. This is supported by our GP in Training Safety and Wellbeing Policy.

Training sites have work health and safety obligations that are governed by federal and state legislation. You should discuss work health and safety with your supervisor and/or training site manager during your orientation, including the management of hazards, adverse events, near misses and critical incidents, should they occur.

You also have a duty to take reasonable care of your own and others’ health and safety. This includes managing your risk of fatigue and ensuring your acts and omissions don’t adversely affect others. Refer to the Safe Work Australia website for more information.  

The health and safety of registrars is also addressed by the NTCER (National Terms and Conditions for the Employment of Registrars.)
