Welcome to the New Curricula Support Hub

The Support Hub has been designed to help answer any questions you may have about the rollout of the new curricula. You can find more information, including FAQs and resources, by using the menu to explore different topics.

 

What's changing?

Trainees in selected training programs will start using the new curricula, including the curriculum standards and work-based learning and assessment tools supported by the Training Management Platform (TMP). This will change how trainees and educators plan learning, record feedback and assess performance against the standards to determine how trainees progress through training.

What this means for you

The renewed curricula are designed to:

  • support clearer progression through training phases
  • align assessment with clinical practice
  • strengthen feedback and supervision
  • support transparent progression decisions via Progress Review Panels.

Expectations for trainees, supervisors and training settings are outlined within each curriculum and supported through TMP guidance and education resources.

New Curricula – The Impact of Change

Watch our short overview of the new curricula and what the shift to competency-based training means for trainees and supervisors.

 

Rollout and implementation

The new RACP curricula are being implemented in stages across Basic and Advanced Training programs. Implementation is underway across multiple specialties, with additional programs transitioning according to the staged rollout schedule.

The TMP supports trainees enrolled under the new curricula and will continue to support training requirements, assessments and progression decisions as further programs transition.

Updates on upcoming transitions will be published on relevant specialty training pages and communicated directly to affected trainees and supervisors.

 

Does this apply to me?

I'm enrolled under the new curriculum

This applies to you if you're enrolled in a program that's transitioned to the new curriculum. Trainees enrolled under the new curricula:

  • follow the updated curriculum standards
  • complete program-specific assessment requirements
  • use the TMP to manage rotations, assessments and progression

See Advanced Training specialties that are starting in 2026.


I started under the PREP curriculum

If you commenced training under a previous (PREP) curriculum and your program hasn't transitioned during your enrolment, you'll continue to complete training under those requirements unless otherwise advised.

If you're unsure which curriculum applies to you, contact your program specialty inbox.

Training data and rotation history during transition

The TMP records rotation plans, assessments and progression decisions for trainees enrolled in the new curricula.

Historical training undertaken before transition remains accessible via legacy systems where applicable. If you need confirmation of previous training activities or rotation history, contact your program specialty inbox.
