About Us
Tropical Medical Training trains GP Registrars for the Australian General Practice Training Program, producing new GPs for Northern and North Western Queensland. Training with Tropical Medical Training leads to either Fellowship in the Royal Australian College of General Practice (FRACGP) and/or Fellowship in the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (FACRRM).
Based in Townsville, TMT conducts training using a regional structure, supported by local Medical Educators and support staff. We give GP Registrars the opportunity to practice a wide range of medical skills in urban and rural General Practice through our network of Hospital, Clinic and General Practice Training facilities. Choose where you will train from our wide range of placements offering comprehensive learning opportunities for Indigenous, Urban, Rural and Tropical Medicine.

TMT Region
TMT's footprint covers two-thirds of Queensland and services the region through three regional cities, each with a greater population than Darwin. From Mackay, Townsville, Cairns, and the Greater West, to the Atherton Tablelands, Cape York, and Torres Strait Islands, the training opportunities at TMT are very diverse. The TMT region is equal to the combined size of NSW and Victoria. With distances of 400 kilometres separating the major city centres and very different cultural and geographical features, the practice of General Practice offers many opportunities for unique experiences.
