Policy updates

Reconsideration, Review and Appeal Policy

ANZCA’s Reconsideration, Review and Appeals Policy (RRA Policy) has been updated. From 2 December 2024, the updated policy (titled: Regulation 30 – Reconsideration, Review and Appeal of Decisions Policy) will replace the following documents:

• Regulation 30 – Reconsideration and Review Process; and   
• Regulation 31 – Appeals Process

We encourage ANZCA and FPM trainees, examiners, specialist international medical graduates and those involved in the accreditation of training sites to read and note the key changes prior to the updated Reconsideration, Review and Appeal Policy’s implementation.

• Decisions eligible for reconsideration, review and appeal.   
• Outcomes available under this policy.   
• Time periods for lodging applications for reconsideration, review and appeal.   
• How to lodge an application for reconsideration, review and appeal.   
• Applicant rights and responsibilities.   
• Changes to fees.

Any application made for reconsideration, review or appeal, prior to 2 December 2024 will be managed under the former Regulation 30 and Regulation 31.

Special Consideration Policy

ANZCA’s updated Special Consideration Policy will be published alongside the RRA policy on 2 December 2024.

The college-wide policy should be reviewed by ANZCA, DHM, RGA, POM and FPM trainees and specialist international medical graduates prior to completing any mandatory exams or assessments. The policy should also be reviewed by those involved in examinations, mandatory assessments or workshops.
