GP Synergy is continually monitoring training capacity and registrar and community needs that inform training facility accreditation decisions. There is generally a surplus of accredited training facilities in most areas across NSW and the ACT with fewer registrars currently in training than the number of available placements.

Twice per year, we calculate the training capacity requirements for each region and identify the number of additional facilities that can be accredited to ensure a balanced supply of high-quality training placements for registrars. Facilities with an interest in becoming accredited can lodge an expression of interest in January and July each year. Expressions of interest are assessed against clear criteria and facilities are expected to demonstrate alignment with our Practice Quality Framework. Highest ranked submissions that meet all requirements and/or meet identified subregion priorities, may be offered an opportunity to apply for accreditation, up to the maximum number of offers available for the relevant subregion.

Expressions of interest will next open on 4 July 2022 and close 29 July 2022. Please download the Accreditation EOI Information Pack and the Accreditation EOI form for more information.
