Australian General Practice Training Program - Regional Training Organisations

Overview

The Australian General Practice Training (AGPT) Program is funded through Outcome 2.3, Health Workforce. The AGPT Program provides vocational general practice (GP) training towards three Fellowship endpoints: Fellowship of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (FRACGP), FRACGP combined with Fellowship in Advanced Rural General Practice (FARGP) and Fellowship of the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (FACRRM). The objectives of the AGPT Program are to: • provide high quality, culturally safe general practice training across Australia; and • ensure a well-distributed GP registrar workforce, with consideration of broader GP workforce supply and demand for services. The intended outcomes of the AGPT Program are to: • develop a workforce that will provide high quality GP services and meet community needs now and into the future; and • increase the number of appropriately qualified general practitioners with a focus on rural, regional and remote Australia. The Commonwealth has current grant agreements in place with nine Regional Training Organisations (RTOs) under the AGPT Program to deliver general practice (GP) training over the 2019-2021 calendar years. To assist in the smooth transition of GP training, this grant opportunity is seeking to continue the involvement of the RTOs in delivering the AGPT Program through to the beginning of semester 1 2023.
