Important eligibility information: Medical Registration

Applications will only be accepted from those applicants who have or expect to receive general medical registration by the commencement of each training year. The 2011 training year commences between 17 January and 7 February, depending on location. For details of the relevant dates click here.

Referees' reports

All applicants applying for the 2011 AGPT program must have two (2) valid and complete referee reports to support their application.

A referee ideally should be a medical practitioner who has directly supervised the applicant for at least a period of 10 weeks within the past three years. Applicants need to select referees who are able to confidently make judgments about the applicant’s professional capabilities and suitability for general practice. Referees can include AGPT registrars, but should not include other doctors who are applying for AGPT.

If an applicant is unable to provide references from two referees who meet these criteria, approval must be sought from the Manager AGPT Selection before references can be considered valid and complete by GPET. If you think you may need to seek this approval GPET suggests that you do not wait until applications open to do so as this may delay the completion of your application. Approval requests should include the name and professional position of the proposed referee and full details of the referee’s relationship with the applicant. Approval requests should be emailed to selection@gpet.com.au .

Applicants should read this information prior to downloading the referee report package.

References MUST be submitted on the approved GPET proforma which is available here. When selecting referees, please ensure that they are willing and able to provide a report by no later than 10:00 am AEST Wednesday 30 June 2010.

Once completed the referees' reports should be returned to GPET by one of the following methods.

1. Fax to GPET on 02 6103 9035; or
