Admission to Fellowship
Progression from approval of training requirements to confirmation of Fellowship can take 6 to 8 weeks.
Approval of training requirements | We recommend eligible trainees and overseas trained physicians (OTPs) to the relevant Education or OTP committee and appropriate Division, Faculty or Chapter for approval to be admitted to Fellowship.
Apply for Fellowship | After your training has been confirmed, you receive an email invitation from Member Services with instructions on how to apply online for Fellowship.
Fellowship confirmation letter | After completing the admission to Fellowship application and paying the associated fees, you receive a letter via email from the President confirming training and Fellowship. This confirmation letter can be used when registering as a physician with APHRA or MCNZ. Contact us if a hard copy letter is required.
Testamur | You receive your testamur (Fellowship certificate) via registered post within a few months.
Fellowship Marks
The Fellowship Mark is a trademarked symbol designed exclusively for RACP Fellows to use to symbolise their professional qualifications and membership of the RACP to their patients, peers and the community. Fellowship Marks are available for download through MyRACP.
