Abstract

The General Practice National Registrar Survey (GP NRS) is an annual, national survey of GP registrars training in Commonwealth funded training programs. This includes the Australian General Practice Training (AGPT) program, the Remote Vocational Training Scheme (RVTS) and Rural Generalist Training Scheme (RGTS). This survey is part of the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing’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. From July 7 to August 18, 2025, 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). 1,225 registrars provided a valid response to the online survey, representing an overall response rate of 31 per cent. Registrars were asked to reflect on their experience with their training provider and training facility. Overall, registrars continue to report high levels of satisfaction. In 2025, registrars were asked a series of questions about the Single Employer Model (SEM) trials, about vertical and horizontal integration of GP registrars within their training facility, and about future plans of Rural Generalist (RG) registrars compared with those that were not RG registrars.
