College Application and Selection Timelines

Important information before starting your application

It is important to consider your eligibility for the AGPT Program. The college resources below contain information regarding eligibility and training pathways.

There are also hospital experience requirements which both colleges require be completed prior to starting in-practice. They do not have to be completed prior to applying to the AGPT program. See our Hospital Experience Assessment page and the relevant college websites for additional information about mandatory hospital terms and advice regarding alternative options for rotations you may have difficulty obtaining.

Training experience considerations

We encourage you to think about the fantastic career opportunities provided by a rural general practice career. Rural and remote training posts provide dynamic, challenging and rewarding environments; shaping you into an empowered, confident specialist GP. Take a look at our where you can train page for information about our training facilities and the breadth of procedural skills you can gain from a placement in communities across our footprint.

If you have extensive, 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.
