Stay close
If you’d like to stay close to Sydney, but you’d prefer to live in a smaller coastal community, Wollongong is an ideal place to complete your training as a General Practice Registrar.

Situated on beautiful natural coastline, Wollongong offers a breath of fresh air. You’ll have the freedom to spread your wings and live at your own pace. Discover a thriving local community, with all the modern conveniences you’d expect from a much larger city, all just a short drive from the heart of the Sydney CBD.

Quality training delivered
Wollongong provides a superb training ground with some of the finest educators in the country. Here you’ll find a network of like-minded people to help you make the most of your time in the region. The Illawarra/Shoalhaven/Southern Highlands communities are welcoming and supportive because they include many ex-Registrars (now Supervisors and Medical Educators) who understand the training program and how to tailor it to your specific needs.

With a varied range of urban practices available, Wollongong is the perfect place if you are thinking of leaving home for the first time because you’ll never be too far away from family and friends.

Another advantage of choosing Wollongong is that you avoid the need to do an outer metro term. You’ll also have the option to complete your rural term at one of many picturesque coastal locations around Nowra and in the Southern Highlands – all within an hour of Wollongong.

Live well train well
The Shoalhaven offers some of the most scenic countryside on the Australian coastline. Whether you choose to locate in the rolling green hills of Nowra, or in an historic coast side village like Milton, you’ll discover warm communities, sweeping country views and a unique quality of life.

Importantly, you’ll be joining a select group of Registrars who are training at a growing number of regional practices. With well-organised study groups and professional facilities, this is a place where you can complete your training free from the pressures of living in a larger metropolitan setting.

Why CoastCityCountry Training?
This area has a proud history of providing first-rate training since the 1980’s. How do we know we’re still getting it right? In 2004, CCCT trained the NSW state medical winners for both RACGP fellowship exams, and CCCT Registrars were named National RACGP Registrars of the Year in 2003 and 2004. In 2004, CCCT was also unconditionally accredited by GPET to deliver general practice training for the next three years.

In particular, we pay attention to the unique individual needs of international medical graduates, helping them to adjust to working in rural Australian settings. Our combination of experienced medical educators, dedicated supervisors and an excellent support network have helped registrars from a wide variety of backgrounds pass their exams with flying colours.
