General Practice Training Tasmania (GPTT) has contractual obligations to the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) and the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM).

GPTT has an accreditation process for teaching practices to ensure standards are met and maintained for quality training of GP registrars throughout Tasmania.

To be eligible to accommodate GP registrars or prevocational doctors, your practice or clinic and GP supervisors need to be accredited with the appropriate training body being either RACGP or ACRRM, or both.
