EV is committed to the continuous improvement in the training of doctors in the Australian General Practice Training (AGPT) program. Each year, the Australian Government commissions an external research company to conduct a survey of GP registrars to gauge the level of satisfaction with their training, regional training organisations and career progression. The 2021 AGPT National Registrar Survey (NRS) Final Report is available to download from the Department of Health website and EV’s results can be found here.

EV’s second Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) was approved for the period July 2020 to December 2021 in line with our initial contracted arrangements as a Regional Training Provider delivering the AGPT Program. Once a contract extension was agreed with the Department of Health, EV approached Reconciliation Australia to extend our RAP. We were granted an additional six months to July 2022 making our RAP active for the maximum two year period. Our updated RAP can be viewed here. While formally our RAP will conclude at the end of July, our commitment to RAP activities and ethos will continue for the life of our organisation. In the second half of 2022 EV will contribute to the annual RAP Impact Measurement Report and the biennial Workplace RAP Barometer.
