Thinking of Retiring From Active Practice?

If or when you do retire will you be:

Completely and permanently retired from practice as a specialist obstetrician and/or gynaecologist.
No longer acting as an expert witness in the field of obstetrics and gynaecology, except in:

  • cases for which you have already provided an opinion prior to the date of signing this Retirement Declaration; and
  • cases which deal with medical practices current during any time you were in active practice as a specialist obstetrician and/or gynaecologist and prior to signing the Retirement Declaration

If you answered YES to all of the above then why not download the
RANZCOG Declaration of Retirement Form ( . 71KB )

 

What happens to my Fellowship if I sign the Declaration of Retirement form?

If or when you decide to sign and submit the completed Declaration of Retirement form to RANZCOG, your classification will be changed to Retired Fellow and this will have the effect of removing you from the Continuing Professional Development Program.

As a Retired Fellow of RANZCOG you will not have to:
  • Pay annual subscription fees
  • Participate in the RANZCOG CPD Program
As a Retired Fellow you will still receive the following from the College:
  • O&G (4 issues per year)
  • ANZJOG (6 issues per year)
  • Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Research - the AOFOG journal (if you have elected to receive this)
  • RANZCOG Annual Report

     

What about my patient records?

See the College Statement on Guidelines for Patient Record Management on the Discontinuation of Practice

What if I don’t want to retire just yet?

If you are not in a situation where you can complete the Retirement Declaration form then you will continue as a Fellow of the College and be required to participate in the CPD Program and pay the yearly subscription.
