2021 AGPT final intake

Eligible RACGP candidates will be sent an email on 16 July with a link to the interview booking portal.

On receipt of the email, immediately book your interview time slot by 17 July.

All details of the Zoom interview process, including how to prepare, what type of questions you’ll be asked and the structure of the interview will be available shortly in our Interview Toolbox.

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.

The RACGP candidate preference change period is from 9-16 July. During this time you can amend your application to a rural preference with MCCC (Western Victoria).

We encourage you to consider a rural pathway if you have an interest in practicing rurally; currently our 2021 numbers are under-subscribed for rural pathway applicants and over-subscribed for general pathway applicants.

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 first intake:

ACRRM candidates will receive their offers on Monday 3 August
RACGP candidates offers will be finalised on Friday 31 August.

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 receive an email on 16 July 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.

Once MCCC receive the names of shortlisted applicants from the colleges, all candidates will be asked to complete an Application to Train, which will allow you to indicate your region preference. For RACGP candidates, this will be sent on 16 July.

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

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 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.

Take a look at our our training practices for information about our training facilities and the breadth of advanced and procedural skills you can gain from a placement in communities across our footprint.
