We encourage you to read the detailed information about the Rural Generalist Fellowship training requirements and take the time to map each component of the curricula to your own skills, experiences, and the evidence that you will be able to provide, to help you determine which training terms you intend on seeking RPLE for.
The process of applying for RPLE varies slightly between Registrars and Fellowed GPs wanting to complete the Rural Generalist Fellowship.
For Registrars
If you’re on the AGPT program, your program team will be able to help with your RPLE application.
Otherwise, you can find out what evidence you need to give us to support your RPLE application by reading the above information as well as What do I need to include in my application? Once you have all the evidence, submit your application by completing the application form and uploading your evidence. We’ll assess your application and ask for extra documentation if needed. Depending on how well your experience and evidence covers the requirements of the Rural Generalist Fellowship, you may receive RPLE in full or in part. If you receive partial RPLE or your application is not successful, the RACGP Rural Censor will give you advice about how you can best meet the requirements of the training program.
For Fellowed GPs
After enrolment and payment of invoice, you will be granted access to the RG portal. You will need to gather all of your evidence to support your RPLE application and upload it to this portal. We’ll assess your application and ask for extra documentation if needed. Depending on how well your experience and evidence covers the requirements of the Rural Generalist Fellowship, you may receive RPLE in full or in part. If you receive partial RPLE or your application is not successful, the RACGP Rural Censor will give you advice about how you can best meet the requirements of the training program. If at this point you decide that you no longer wish to continue with the RG fellowship, you will receive a refund of $455.
