Advance your practice. Be recognised.

Recognition of Extended Skills (RES-FRACGP) formally recognises RACGP Fellows who have developed advanced expertise in specific areas of general practice.

RES-FRACGP is not a qualification or award—it’s a recognition of your commitment to professional growth and your contribution to meeting evolving patient and community needs.

Eligible Fellows will:

  • Be a current financial member in good standing with RACGP.
  • Have received RACGP Fellowship at least five years before applying.
  • Hold the specialty of general practice on their medical registration with Ahpra.
  • Have no restrictions on practice.
  • Have no current or pending investigations by Ahpra.
  • Practice as a GP in Australia

For further information please see the RES-FRACGP Applicant Handbook.
