ELIGIBILITY FOR GP
TRAINING
Details of eligibility for enrolment in the Australian
General Practice Training Program can be found at
www.agpt.com.au under
Applicants.
THE SELECTION PROCESS
After processing of your application materials through
GPET, you will be given and notified of a relative ranking,
and then given the option to change your preferences.
Following this, applicants are allocated for interview with
a training consortium depending on their ranking and
preferences. There are a total of three rounds of
interviews, although most applicants who have a reasonable
ranking will be accepted into a particular training program
after a first interview.
Details of dates and procedures are posted on the AGPT
site.
ON
ACCEPTANCE INTO THE TRAINING PROGRAM
It is important that you take on the responsibility of
knowing what is required before your first placement. You
will be notified of arrangements well in advance. However,
as a working, earning professional it is up to you to be
sure you confirm where you will be working, who to contact,
your accommodation and other family arrangements.
Training Program administrative staff are available to
help you orient yourself to your new work environment and
your GP supervisor and others will be supporting you
in education and training as well as any personal issues
that may arise. If you are starting in a general practice
the practice manager will help with accommodation and
administrative arrangements.
Contact details for these people can be found at Contact
Us on this site.
Although there are many people to assist you in settling
in, please note that we cannot take over your personal
living responsibilities. For instance, we are not able to
book your children into schools, phone removalists or fill
in forms for you.
