Training & Supervision

  • Receive mentoring and structured supervision in line with NTGPE or equivalent GP Training Programs.
  • Develop skills in Aboriginal health, paediatrics, chronic disease, emergency care, and remote practice.
  • Gain hands-on experience in Communicare, CARPA guidelines, and Medicare processes.

  • Internal teams: Clinic Managers, Aboriginal Health Practitioners, Registered Nurses, Midwives, and Coordinators (e.g. Child Health, Chronic Disease).
  • External partners: Gove District Hospital, NT Health, pathology/radiology providers, and visiting specialists.
