The National Rural Generalist Pathway (NRGP) has recommended a “long-term training contract,” which is essentially a single employer model for the duration of general field training in their region or community. While training incentives are put in place by the NRGP, this leads to further inequalities in the employment conditions of GP registrars who are not registered in the NRGP. As trainees, civil registry officers must be employed according to the NTCER and can expect basic salary (from USD 74.215 in term 1, up to USD 95,295 per year until end 3). This basic salary is increased by the difference between the registrar`s basic salary and a percentage of invoices or receipts (no less than 44.79% – 9.5% super). The AmA National Conference is invited to explore ways to improve the employment conditions and employment procedures of GP registrars to ensure fair and equitable employment conditions that meet the needs of registrants and supervisors. This could include the renewal of proposed six-year employer contracts for rural general medical practices. It is clear that there is an appetite for change and, ultimately, registrars and superiors of family physicians will need to have solutions that may take some time to clarify them. The issue of compensation and billing reform will be a major issue, as will continuity of rights and access to leave. Additional resources will be needed to support reform in this area, as the burden of implementing all contractual agreements should not be due to general practices that employ registrants. Fill out the form below to get NTCER resources, including the presentation of employment contracts. The payment of conditions beyond those mentioned in the agreement is a trade policy decision, but it is not recommended.

Training practices should not be used by registrars under the terms of the agreement. The agreement will enter into force for employment agreements that will begin in 2017 and will not have an expiry date, and the NTCER will continue to work in its current form. This is an opportunity to explore alternatives to NTCER that create a level playing field for GP registrars, recognizing the efforts and commitment of supervisory authorities, particularly at a time when general practice is under considerable financial pressure. Closing an employment contract before your registrar starts working in your firm is an incredibly important piece of a puzzle. This is what you and your Registrar will come back to if something is called into question about their terms of employment. Whether all GP registrars should be employed under a single employer contract will be the subject of substantive debate at WADA`s national conference. The policy meeting will explore the practical application of a single employer model for GP registrars to increase flexibility for GP registrars with their training conditions and the end of their training, including the portability of rights in the workplace. Registrars of family physicians experience a lack of parity in compensation with their non-GP counterparts and are disadvantaged by the inability to transfer leave and other rights while they are trained through training.
