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 develop a training plan to ensure all mandatory core hospital components are achieved before or during training.

ACRRM:  MCCC will contact successful ACRRM candidates to discuss their training plans and region preference.

RACGP: MCCC receives the names of shortlisted applicants from the RACGP on Thursday 5 November, shortly after this date you will receive further information from us asking you to indicate your region preference.

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 RACGP about future intakes.

Practice allocations

MCCC holds a Registrar Placement process which facilitates the matching of registrars to training posts. You are able to apply to locations that are of interest to you and will be invited to interview with practices in order to secure a placement.

We emphasise that you must have a wide range of options to increase the changes of being placed in locations of your choice. If you are unsuccessful in initial rounds or provide limited options leading to being unplaced, then MCCC will direct you to the remaining practices in the final stages of placement.

Additional information can be found in our Registrar Placement Guide

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

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.
