Special consideration

During RACP training, unexpected events may affect a trainee’s ability to complete assessments. These events are rare, beyond a trainee’s control, and could impact attending an exam, performing at their best, or undertaking a work-based assessment.

We support trainees by making reasonable adjustments to ensure fair access to assessments. You can apply for special consideration before the exam if you’re affected by:

  • permanent or long-term disability
  • temporary disability due to medical or other relevant conditions
  • pregnancy, lactation and infant feeding needs
  • compassionate grounds or serious disruptions
  • essential commitments (religious, cultural, societal or legal obligations)

Once an exam starts, we’ll only consider technical or unexpected issues that happen during the exam.

If your preparation’s been affected, it’s best to withdraw - special consideration isn’t available after results are released.

Your exam result won’t be changed due to special circumstances. For details on how to apply and possible outcomes, see the Special Consideration for Assessment Policy.

Submit your request before the deadline using the Special Consideration form (PDF).
