Rural generalist anaesthesia training sites

Training time towards the Rural Generalist Anaesthesia training must be completed at an accredited site.

Accreditation processes and standards for training sites to deliver RGA training are currently being revised, however in the interim, all training sites currently accredited to deliver JCCA training have been automatically accredited to deliver the RGA training until the end of 2024. The extension of accreditation remains subject to posts continuing to meet their required levels and quality of supervision, reporting and support.

The standards for RGA accreditation can be found in the RGA Accreditation Handbook.

Applying for accreditation

We are accepting expressions of interest from new training sites. Please contact us.
