How to Apply for General Practice Training in the CoastCity Country Region

GP training in Australia is a regionalised process, with 21 Regional Training Providers offering training nation wide. Applications to all Regional Training Providers are centralised, and are being handled by General Practice Education and Training (GPET).

Registrars are required to nominate their preferred Regional Training Provider in their application (two preferences are allowed)

Application forms are available at www.gpet.com.au. There will also be an Applicant Guide available at that web site, which will help you with the application process; alternatively, you can download it from here. For details about the selection process, read the section on selection at the gpet website. In order to support your application, you will need certified copies of proof of citizenship, medical qualifications, medical registration, and medical indemnity insurance. You will also need 3 separate referee reports, which are filled in by people that have supervised your medical practice for at least 10 weeks in the past. Ideally the supervision should have occurred in Australia and the referees must be available to complete a report to GPET deadlines.

Application requires a number of steps which can be found here.
