Noticeboard for Practice Managers
Change to base salary rate for GP registrars
The new rates of pay for registrars training in the AGPT program are effective from 6 August 2018 (2018.2 term). This is in alignment with clause 11.1 from the National Terms and Conditions for the Employment of Registrars (NTCER).
Please note, your practice may need to arrange for backpay to registrars from 6 August. Information regarding payroll adjustment is available directly from GPSA and on the GPSA website.
MCCC is not party to negotiations of the NTCER. Kindly direct all queries regarding the changes to GPSA on 03 5440 9077.

Only face-to-face time is able to be included (billable time). Whilst the practice manager is able to utilise item numbers billed to prompt that face to face consults have occurred, each practice needs to establish a process for the registrar to communicate the actual time spent consulting with the practice manager. This would also be the case with hospital attendances that may not be billed via Medicare.
Including this face-to-face time gives a broader perspective of registrar time. It also balances out any face to face time the registrar may have potentially lost with fatigue leave. If you have further questions regarding adding on-call consulting time on RCTIs, please contact your REAPS.
