Each year WAGPET undertakes a placement process for GP Registrars to select training terms in the coming training year. To confirm their re-enrolment and ensure placements are arranged for the coming training year, GP Registrars must complete the following:

On-line re-enrolment in the GP Training Program

All WAGPET GP Registrars must re-enrol in the GP Training Program each year by submitting an online Placement Preference Form by 30 June of each year.

GP Registrars applying for Advanced Rural Skills Posts must submit their application by June each year.

Forms are submitted on-line via WAGPET elearning www.wagpet.com.au/elearning.

Failure to submit your Placement Preference Form may result in you being considered as withdrawn from the GP Training Program and you may need to re-apply via the GPET application and selection process.
