The NTCER is the national instrument that outlines the minimum employment conditions for AGPT registrars. It also provides guidance for the employment of GP registrars on other training/non AGPT pathways.
Individual practices/services are free to offer higher base rates and/or percentage of billing/receipts, and/or increased frequency of billing calculations (re less than monthly), above the specified minimum in the NTCER.
Training practices should not employ registrars below the minimum employment conditions outlined in the NTCER.
