description Background and objective: General practitioners provide essential primary care to paediatric patients. The aim of this study was to explore associations between prevocational paediatric experiences of general practice registrars and their confidence in providing paediatric care in the general practice setting. Methods: This was a cross-sectional observational study. Paediatric experiences and level of confidence ratings were collected using an online survey emailed to 530 Victorian general practice registrars in 2017; the response rate was 41% (217/530). Analysis used descriptive statistics, cross tabulation and Fishers' exact test. Results: The most common paediatric training was undertaken in a general hospital emergency department (180/197, 91%). The majority of registrars reported that they felt confident or very confident in managing acute presentations (92% for upper respiratory tract infection, 80% for asthma, 81% for immunisation), but fewer were confident in managing mental health, behavioural or developmental presentations (all
