All QA programs are organised over a calendar year, January to December. While the major enrolment period is September to December of the preceding year, most disciplines accept enrolments throughout the year. Please read Enrolment Procedures below.

More detailed information is available by downloading the Information and Enrolment Booklet  (Large Acrobat file up to 2MB)

Participants already enrolled
In September, participants who are already enrolled in RCPA QA programs will be supplied with information booklets and enrolment forms for enrolment in the following year.

New participants or participants wanting to increase their range of programs
If you are:

• a new participant or,
• wish to enrol in a new discipline

please request the required enrolment form from the Enrolment Office. If enrolling after 1 January please contact the Enrolment Office prior to completing your enrolment as some programs may be oversubscribed.

All enrolment forms should be forwarded to the Enrolment Office, preferably with payment for the programs requested. Payment can be made by cheque, credit card or electronic funds transfer (see enrolment form for details). If required a tax invoice can be provided for payment.

There is no deadline for receipt of enrolments. However, receipt by 30 November will ensure continuity of participation for those already enrolled and will ensure new participants receive their material prior to the commencement of the following year's programs.

If enrolling part way through the year pro rata pricing may apply.

Certificates of Enrolment
The Enrolment Office will forward Certificates of Enrolment once payment is finalised.

Delivery of Programs
The individual QA discipline offices will supply program paperwork and material. Depending on the specimens supplied delivery may be in one dispatch for the year or material may be distributed on a regular basis throughout the year. Anatomical Pathology and Cytopathology may require slides to be returned for circulation to other participants.
