FRACGP Fellows with FARGP or rural and remote experience

If you’re a GP with the RACGP Fellowship in Advanced Rural General Practice (FARGP) or a practising RACGP Fellow (FRACGP) with rural and remote experience, you can apply for partial or full recognition of prior learning and experience to obtain Rural Generalist Fellowship.

A $950 recognition of prior learning and experience application fee will apply. If you receive partial recognition and you’re required to undertake Additional Rural Skills Training, you’ll also need to pay the relevant fee for your chosen discipline prior to training in your chosen skill.

For more information about the training program and fees, contact us or see our Rural Generalist Fellowship Training Handbook.
