Summary

The Training Program Committee in General Paediatrics (the Committee) is seeking Expressions of Interest (EOIs) from General Paediatrics Fellows to join the Committee as an Appointed Member.

Description

One of the main roles of the Committee is to monitor and assess individual trainee progress in General Paediatrics across Australia.

There will be 2 Fellow positions vacant on the Committee from September 2026 in the role of Appointed Member, ideally from the NT, SA, TAS or ACT. In this role, you'll help shape the physicians of the future and positively contribute to the direction, workforce and culture of General Paediatrics in Australia.

Key responsibilities of the Committee include:

  • provide prospective approval of proposed training

Our commitment to inclusivity

The RACP is committed to inclusive and respectful committee environments, and to ensuring its governance structures reflect the breadth of perspectives across its membership and the communities it serves.
When assessing expressions of interest, the College considers skills and experience alongside the perspectives and lived experience applicants may bring. Any information shared is voluntary and will be treated respectfully.

The RACP recognises Māori as tangata whenua and Te Tiriti o Waitangi partners in Aotearoa New Zealand, and acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Indigenous peoples of Australia and Pacific peoples as recognised within the Indigenous Strategic Framework.

Consistent with the RACP Constitution and the Indigenous Strategic Framework, and informed by Te Tiriti o Waitangi and the Uluru Statement from the Heart, the College is committed to upholding Indigenous leadership, the rights of Indigenous peoples to self-determination, and ensuring cultural safety across committee environments.

This is not positioned as a subset of diversity, but reflects distinct status, leadership, rights, and contribution
