Northern Territory General Practice Education Limited (NTGPE) is the leading provider of General Practice Education and Training in Australia’s Northern Territory. NTGPE’s principle roles are to provide undergraduate and vocational postgraduate training, and continuing medical education for independent general practitioners and primary health care workers throughout the NT

In 2003, we declared our intention to become a centre of excellence in training general practitioners for Aboriginal health. This will see an acceleration of our work in the area, including at all levels of our vertically integrated programs, and with key partner organisations

We have administrative centre's in Darwin and Alice Springs, but prefer to think of our work as happening through a network of medical education staff dispersed across the NT. We believe this better enables us to respond to students, Registrars, junior doctors and independent medical practitioners’ needs in communities where they are working or training. The Darwin office is based at the NT University’s Casuarina Campus

NTGPE aims to deliver an education and training experience that is unique, innovative, supportive and challenging. NTGPE collaborates with an extensive network of diverse rural and remote communities, hospitals and clinics where students and registrars can undertake training placements

We were established in our present form in 2002 by a consortium of key organisations, from a proud heritage from the General Practice Education and Research Unit, GPERU. That unit commenced GP training in the NT in 1992 and formal Top End medical students placement programs for students in Australia’s universities in 1995
