๐Ÿ’ก Tips for New Registrars

Week 1: Get your 3GA provider number sorted before you start seeing patients. Your RTO arranges this, but chase them โ€” delays mean you can't bill.

Billing: You bill under your own provider number from day one. Your supervisor doesn't need to co-sign. Start with standard consult items (23/36/44) and learn care plans (965/967, formerly 721/732) in your first term.

Templates: Our Assessment Template Generator creates Best Practiceโ€“formatted templates for health assessments and care plans โ€” saves 15+ minutes per assessment.

Exams: Start exam prep early. AKT is knowledge-heavy (best with question banks), KFP tests clinical reasoning. Book your AKT first โ€” it's the gateway.

Support: If you're struggling, reach out. Support & Wellbeing โ€” crisis lines, training contacts, clinical supervision help, and practical tips, all in one place. Or call Drs4Drs now: 1300 374 377 (24/7, free, confidential).
