Training Fees

Over the past five years the RACP has built and delivered a highly successful and reputable training infrastructure. Even with this progression, the RACP fee structure remains one of the most competitive for medical colleges in Australia and New Zealand.

Trainee fees will contribute to services we know our Fellows and Trainees need, including:

• E-learning materials
• Additional online infrastructure
• New forms of assessment
• More staff to support trainees and supervisors
• Professional development
• Policy and advocacy.
