Help Improve GP Training: Encourage Participation in the NRS Survey!

The National Registrar Survey (NRS) opens on 7 July 2025 for AGPT, RVTS, and RGTS registrars. This survey gathers crucial insights into their experiences, satisfaction, and career plans, helping to enhance GP training programs and benefiting general practice.

The NRS will help the Department:

  • Improve the quality of GP registrar training.
  • Address registrars’ needs and concerns.
  • Shape future training programs.

How You Can Help

Mention the survey to your registrars at your next staff meeting or teaching session. The survey stays open for 6 weeks only so please act quickly. Your encouragement can make a big difference.

GPSA recognises the traditional custodians of the land and waterways on which GP/RG supervisors and training practice teams work and live. 

The GPSA Board and team extend their gratitude to the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing for entrusting this independent organisation to deliver AGPT support activities for GP and RG supervisors under Commonwealth funding.
