Transition to College-Led Training Advisory Committee

The Transition to College-Led Training Advisory Committee (TCLTAC) provides advice to the Australian Government on the development and implementation of reforms to the delivery of general practice training as part of the transition to a College-led training model.

Role

The role of the Transition to College-Led Training Advisory Committee (TCLTAC) is to:

  • Provide advice to the Australian Government on the transition of the Australian General Practice Training (AGPT) Program to a 'College-led model'. Areas of consideration will include:
    • ensuring the continuation of high quality training
    • supervisor and practice support arrangements, systems and models
    • building the attractiveness of GP training to current and prospective future registrars.
  • Provide advice on options to maintain continuity for registrars currently training in the AGPT, and ensure transition is as seamless as possible.
  • Provide advice on implementation arrangements, timelines and any identified risks.
  • Provide advice on the development of an evaluation framework for Australian Government supported GP training programs.
