Application & panel participation

Applications are accepted and reviewed on a rolling basis. You will be notified if you are added to the reviewer pool, and you may choose to withdraw at any time by emailing foundation@racgp.org.au. If invited to join a Panel, you will receive an induction and details of the expected timeline, deliverables and honorarium*. Participation is entirely voluntary, and you may choose whether or not to accept a Panel invitation.

*RACGP employees completing assessment as part of their RACGP role and representatives of the Foundation’s funding partner organisations are not eligible to receive an honorarium, as their participation is considered part of their professional role or organisational commitment.
