Abstract

The General Practice National Registrar Survey (GP NRS) is an annual, national survey of GP registrars currently training in Commonwealth funded trainings programs which include Australian General Practice Training (AGPT), Remote Vocational Training Scheme (RVTS) and Rural Generalist Training Scheme (RGTS) programs (prior to 2024, it was only carried out with AGPT registrars). It collects information via an online questionnaire about GP registrar satisfaction, experience and future career plans. It also collects information about GP registrars’ demographics and training contexts and other aspects of their training experience. This survey is part of the Department of Health and Aged Care’s (the Department) monitoring and quality improvement activities. The information collected in the GP NRS can be used to assure the quality of training provision in the program, enables continuous improvement and allows responses to be benchmarked nationally. This survey was previously known as the AGPT Registrar Satisfaction Survey (AGPT RSS) and the AGPT NRS. From July 1 to August 16, 2024, the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) administered the GP NRS to registrars enrolled in active training in Commonwealth funded GP training programs (AGPT, RGTS, RVTS). 1,373 registrars provided a valid response to the survey, representing an overall response rate of 35.5 per cent. The national response rate was sufficient to yield reliable results at a national level, with the Key Performance Indicators described in the report offering accuracy (at the 95 per cent confidence level) within 2.7 per cent of the reported average scores. Registrars were asked to reflect on their experience with their training provider and training facility. Overall, registrars continue to report high levels of satisfaction.
