General training stream

        1. General training stream

Training location

There are training location requirements you must meet to comply with the Training Program Requirements Policy.

General training stream

Registrars with the general stream are able to work in metropolitan areas, but there are particular training location requirements which must be met.

You must spend 52 weeks of general practice program time in an outer metropolitan, rural or non-capital city location, as determined by regional workforce and training location requirements. 

Alternatively, this requirement can be met in an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health training post in an Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Service or other approved Aboriginal Medical Service in an inner metropolitan area.

It’s also possible to do two six-month placements in two different locations to meet this requirement.
