National Consistent Payments (NCP) Updates – Semester 2, 2025
17 Oct 2025
Key updates include:
-
Pro-rata payments for registrars undertaking part-time training.
-
Payments for registrars training across multiple Modified Monash Model (MM) locations.
-
Case scenarios demonstrating how payments are calculated.
-
A glossary explaining terminology used in GP training.
Note: Registrars training in multiple MM locations during a term may receive separate payments for each location instead of a single advance payment.
Modified Monash Model (MM) reclassifications:
-
From Semester 2, 2025, MM reclassifications have been implemented following the announcement by Minister Butler in Strengthening Medicare: more doctors and larger Medicare payments for dozens of communities.
-
17 locations have been reclassified as more rural, improving eligibility for higher NCP payments (for example, some MM1 locations are now MM2).
-
Registrars can check the MM classification of their training location via the Health Workforce Locator.
Advice for current participants:
-
Contact your college to understand how these changes may affect your payments.
-
Colleges may also provide support through their flexible payments policy.
