At the RACGP, we're committed to ensuring Australia has a strong and effective network of highly trained General Practitioners. As National Director, Education Standards and Assessment, you'll play a pivotal role in shaping the systems that define what the future general practice workforce looks like, how it's assessed, and how we assure its quality across GP training and education.

About the role

This newly established senior leadership role brings together responsibility for the RACGP's education standards, assessment and governance functions into a single portfolio.

You will lead a diverse portfolio of education, governance, policy and assessment specialists, balancing academic quality, regulatory obligations, member experience and organisational priorities. Success in the role will require solid strategic leadership, collaboration and the ability to navigate complexity in a highly regulated environment.

In this role you’ll:

- Shape and lead the RACGP’s national approach to education standards, assessment and governance
- Drive excellence in education quality, accreditation, compliance and risk management, including Australian Medical Council requirements.
