What is the Rural Generalist Training Scheme?

To be eligible to complete the ACRRM Fellowship, you must have participated in one of their training programs, which includes AGPT, RVTS, ACRRM Independent Pathway and now- the Rural Generalist Training Scheme.
This is a program that is fully structured, delivered in an online environment with face to face components and has a large self guided learning feel.
Am I Eligible?
To participate on RGTS, you need to meet the following criteria:
- Be a Permanent Resident or Australian Citizen
- Hold General AHPRA Registration
- Have a job offer or be currently working in a MMM 2-7 location.
Entrance Exam: Mini Multiple Interviews
This is a behavioural-based assessment, offering six scenarios. You’ll have two minutes to read through, and 8 minutes to respond. You can prepare by reading the program selection criteria- at this stage, there are no recommended preparation courses.
How long is the program?
This is a four year program broken into 3 years of Core General Training (CGT), and 1 year of Advanced Specialist Training (AST).
Where will I work?
You will need to be working or have a job offer in a MMM 2-7 location. If you are restricted by 19AB, the practice will also need to be in a DPA location.
How do I apply?
You can apply via the ACRRM website. It is an online application.
How Much Does RGTS Cost?
You’ll pay a $700 application fee, and an ongoing ACRRM membership fee of $430 per year. You’ll also need to pay for Fellowship assessments.
