General Practice Education and Training Limited (GPET) has welcomed the announcement by the Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and Minister for Health and Ageing Nicola Roxon of 175 additional training places for the 2009 and 2010 intakes of the Australian General Practice Training (AGPT) program.

The increase in training places announced by the Government today brings the number of training places available to medical graduates seeking entry into the AGPT program to 675 for 2009 and 700 for 2010.

Priority for the additional 75 places in 2009 will go to eligible and suitable applicants who applied in the June and September intakes to the AGPT program but missed out due to insufficient training places. Other eligible medical graduates will be invited to apply for any of the 75 places that remain unfilled by current suitable applicants. The announcement also includes additional support for training places in Indigenous health.

The 75 additional places for 2009 will be allocated across all 21 regional training providers (RTPs) that deliver the AGPT program, based on regional workforce requirements.

So far, for the first two intake processes, 807 eligible medical graduates have applied for entry to the training program in 2009.
