There are links available to test Zoom before the day if you are not familiar with the platform.

Should you require additional Zoom support, please contact MCCC.

ACRRM: Virtual Multiple Mini Interviews (MMIs) will be conducted by ACRRM. Information about the virtual MMIs are available on the college website.

The RACGP candidate preference change period is from 5-10 November. During this time you can amend your application to a rural preference with MCCC (Western Victoria).

For the final RACGP intake, we have opportunities for rural pathway entry, while the general pathway positions will be quite competitive.  We encourage you to consider a rural pathway if you have an interest in practicing rurally.

Additional information about RTO training place distributions are available on the RACGP website, with additional candidate application details in SAMS (Selection Assessment Management System).

For the 2021 second/final intake:

ACRRM candidates will receive their offers on Monday 9 November.
RACGP candidates will receive their offers on Wednesday 2 December.

RACGP practice readiness is assessed by MCCC through a process that involves a review of hospital statements that provide details of the rotations you have completed.

Eligible candidates will be sent an email with a link to the Hospital Experience Assessment, where they will be asked to provide statements of service.

MCCC will review the submissions and the final decision sits with the RACGP.

ACRRM candidates will be assessed by the college.

RACGP: MCCC receives the names of shortlisted applicants from the RACGP on 12 November, shortly after this date you will receive further information from us asking you to indicate your region preference, noting we have limited vacancies in some regions for the final intake.

ACRRM: A survey has been issued to you from ACRRM, asking you to indicate your region preference. 

All candidates: Following the virtual interviews, MCCC will allocate successful candidates to the regions based on their interview score and, where possible, genuine links to the region.

The region you have been allocated to will be indicated in your Letter of Offer. You may choose to accept or decline this offer. Should you decline, you will then need to speak to your college about future intakes.

Practice allocations

IMPORTANT: It is unlikely that candidates successful in being offered a training place as part of the AGPT 2021 second/final intake will be able to begin in a GP practice in February 2021. Please ensure you have arranged employment within a hospital setting etc as appropriate.

If you require information about when you may be able to be begin in practice, please contact info@mccc.com.au.

For those starting in practice in 2022, MCCC holds a Registrar Placement process, where you apply to training practices that are of interest to you.

We emphasise that you must have a wide range of options to increase the changes of being placed in locations of your choice.

Additional information can be found in our Registrar Placement Guide.

If you have sufficient, relevant hospital experience prior to joining the AGPT Program, you may be able to apply for recognition of prior learning (RPL), a process separate to the hospital experience assessment. Learn more about this process on our RPL page.
