If you withdraw within 48 hours of the scheduled exam, you can apply for a special exemption to the refund schedule on the grounds of extenuating and unforeseen circumstances. We consider special exemption applications and any refund on a case-by-case basis. Factors such as cost already incurred by the RACGP will be taken into account when determining any refund; for some applications, a partial refund may be provided. You can apply for a special exemption by sending a completed Special Exemption Application Form to education.appeals@racgp.org.au.
Extenuating and unforeseen circumstances are considered on a case-by-case basis, but they must be circumstances that were unforeseen, outside your control, and that can be shown to have a direct and significant impact on your ability to sit the scheduled exam, including:
- ill health (other than minor illnesses) with valid certificates
- carer’s leave with valid certificates
- bereavement
- acute adverse life circumstances
- hospitalisation
- Australian Defence Force deployment leave
- other significant changes to your circumstances.
Please see the section Non-attendance at the exam for the consequences of non-attendance at an exam without a sanctioned withdrawal from that exam.
