Following a special RACS Council meeting on 1 September, the Fellowship Examinations will be reinstated for 2021 with a new date set for the written exam on 12 October and the existing dates of 5 - 7 November kept for the clinical vivas.
We made this decision following feedback from our stakeholders after the cancellation of the exams last week. We have listened to their concerns and decided to run the exam for as many candidates as possible. We apologise for this change and regret any inconvenience caused.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic means that we must proceed carefully to safeguard the health and safety of candidates, examiners and the many staff who help make the exams possible, as well as the public
The exams will be held across multiple locations in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand.
