The RACGP has blocked an attempt to allow members to vote on a motion of no confidence in the college board during this month’s Annual General Meeting.

Drawn up by college life-member Associate Professor Chris Hogan, it alleges the board is responsible for the college’s “systemic failures”, including a failure to govern, provide strategic leadership and communicate with members in a “transparent and timely manner”.

Along with this year’s aborted online fellowship exams, the explanatory notes also claim the board has presided over a “significant overspend” on CEO salaries and external contractors, and that the presidential election was mishandled.

There are no details substantiating the allegation.
