Academic Posts can provide Commonwealth funding to AGPT registrars to learn academic skills.

AGPT registrars interested in incorporating academic work into your career are encouraged to apply for a Commonwealth-funded Academic Post. This is your chance to gain exposure to research and the academic environment with mentoring and guidance from your supervisor, university and ACRRM. A registrar in an Academic Post will work 0.5FTE in an academic institution and 0.5FTE in a clinical position in an accredited training post.

Registrars may choose to undertake Advanced Specialised Training in Academic Practice, Population Health, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health or Remote Medicine. The topic of the research and the post where clinical work is undertaken will determine which AST is appropriate.

Consideration will also be given to an Academic Post being undertaken while in Core Generalist Training on a part time basis.

Funding applications for 2025 Academic Posts are yet to open. If you are interested in applying for this funding for a 2025 Academic Post, we will keep you updated once funding timelines for 2024 applications are released.

Funding includes a salary equivalent to a university lecturer at 0.5 FTE, professional development funding, and research funding.
