The National Terms and Conditions for the Employment of Registrars (NTCER) is not a registered award but the minimum standards formed by the intersection of the National Employment Standards (NES) and vocational GP/RG training programs as agreed every other year by GPSA and GPRA.

The terms and conditions outlined in this version of the Agreement (v2026.2) will take effect from the commencement of the second training semester in 2026 and will continue until replaced.

It is crucial that employers of AGPT and RGTS registrars use the joint GPSA/GPRA employment contract templates developed from the current NTCER as these are the legal documents against which your compliance with the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) is measured.
