Welcome to the final Fellowship Support Program (FSP) newsletter for 2025. 

We hope you’ve had a great year and that you enjoy some well-deserved time with your loved ones over the festive period.  

Catch up on the latest updates, news and insights from the FSP team. Grab a coffee and let’s dive in. 

We’ll be back in touch in the new year. 

RACGP end-of-year closedown

All RACGP offices will close at the end of business on Tuesday 23 December 2025 and reopen on Friday 2 January 2026. 

Please note we won’t be able to respond to queries during this period. 

We recommend contacting your program team before Friday 19 December for any outstanding matters, as many staff will be on annual leave from this date. 

Changes to training site and supervisor accreditation

We recently emailed you about changes to training site and supervisor accreditation. If your registrar submits a change in circumstance request to update their training site and/or supervisor, the new site or supervisor must already be accredited against the RACGP Standards for general practice training. 

Please refer to the email sent on Wednesday 12 November for more information. 

We’re updating our forms

From 12 January 2026, a new form will be available for submitting change in circumstance requests. 

The updated form makes the process easier by allowing registrars to submit all requests in one place, streamlining their experience. They’ll still be able to access the form through the FSP Portal as usual. 

Program uplift from 2027.1

We're making changes to the structure of the FSP from Term 1, 2027 (2027.1). These changes won’t affect current registrars’ education or training.  

The uplift follows extensive consultation throughout 2025 and aims to better prepare future FSP applicants for practice in the Australian healthcare system. It also supports a flourishing GP workforce, enhances education and training, and aligns more closely with RACGP’s training frameworks.
