Nominating eligible supervisors
From mid-2023, you’re required to nominate eligible supervisors who meet the supervision requirements of the training program.
You can find a list of eligible supervisors:
- in the supervision section of your online registration form
- on MyRACP
The MyRACP list is not available for post-Fellowship trainees. Post-Fellowship trainees can check the list in their online registration form or contact us to confirm supervisor eligibility.
Application deadlines
28 February | first half or whole of the current year
31 August | second half of the current year
You’re responsible for organising all necessary documentation for submission by the deadline. We recommend that you keep a copy of your application for future reference.
See program key dates for trainees and supervisors.
Late applications
Late applications will be considered up to 1 month after the deadline.
Applications received 1 month after the deadline won’t be considered unless exceptional circumstances can be demonstrated in line with the Special Considerations for Assessment Policy.
Late applications may incur a fee.
Late fees won't apply if supervisor approval is pending after the deadline.

About your training position
Core training must be undertaken at accredited settings.
Once you have secured a training position, you must prospectively apply for approval as per the Progression through Training Policy.
The College is not involved in the recruitment and selection of trainees. Our role is to set and monitor standards for selection and provide advice to settings and their selection committees.
Training approval and certification
Approval of training periods are determined by the Advanced Training Committee (ATC) in Neonatal and Perinatal Medicine. To be approved, your individual training program must be consistent with the training requirements and appropriate for the stage of training you have reached.
Upon completion of each rotation or calendar year of training, the ATC reviews your progress according to the training requirements. If you have satisfactorily completed all training requirements, the ATC will certify that training period.
Training variations
See variations in training for processes covering dual, joint, conjoint and post-Fellowship training.
See flexible training options for information on part-time training, interruptions to training, withdrawing from training and time limits.
Rotation or supervision changes
Changes to your rotation require you to re-submit an application form (if online registration is closed) to your training committee as soon as possible. This includes any changes to sites, dates of rotations and flexible training arrangements.
Change to your supervision must be notified as soon as possible by submitting a Supervisor Details Amendment Form (DOC).
Some changes may require a review of the approval decision and can affect the certification of your training.
