Medicare provider numbers for 2025.1 due 29 November

A reminder that registrars need to confirm a placement and return their Medicare provider number (MPN) paperwork by Friday 29 November. This allows time for the RACGP to work with Services Australia to ensure their MPN is allocated prior to the start of the semester. 
 
Registrars must still submit an MPN application form if they're staying at the same practice in 2025.1. If you have questions about the MPN, please visit this page or speak with your training coordinator.  

Supervisor professional development stipends have been processed

Eligible supervisor professional development stipends for 2024.2 have been processed and paid to your training site.  

Although stipends are paid to the training site, it’s expected that you will distribute the stipend in full to supervisors proportional to their involvement in supervisor professional development. 

For more information on how to distribute the payments refer to supervisor professional development requirements and payments or reach out to your training coordinator. 

Has your practice had a recent change in circumstances? Reach out to your training coordinator to discuss

A reminder to please reach out to your training coordinator if there have been changes to your practices':   

• name  

• address   

• ABN or ACN   

• bank account details   

• site ID   

• supervisors.  

These changes can affect your registrar's Medicare provider number (MPN), so they need to be shared with your training coordinator as soon as possible.  

Please note, all changes of ownership must also be shared with your training coordinator as they may have an impact on training site accreditation and will need to be assessed.
