AGPT registrar training handbook
Training program requirements
Last revised: 27 Mar 2025
To ensure workforce distribution, you're required to comply with the training location requirements of the relevant program pathway, as per the Training Program Requirements Policy.
In addition to training location requirements, training location commitments (TLCs) are set by each region/subregion where applicable as per the AGPT Training Location Requirements and Commitments Schedule. Not all training regions have additional TLCs in place.
Registrars with the general stream are able to work in metropolitan areas, but to gain experience working in a range of locations, you’re required to work in at least one other location:
outer metropolitan or non-capital city MM 1 location
regional, rural or remote location
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health training post.
You can meet this requirement by working for 52 weeks in one of these three locations, or by working in two of the locations for six months each.
Your preference for a particular training location is taken into account along with the local practice placement policy and the availability of an accredited training facility in that location.
