Rural Junior Doctor Training Innovation Fund - Round 2

Overview

This is an opportunity to apply for funding to provide rural based junior doctors with a training period in a rural primary care setting, such as a General Practice or an Aboriginal Medical Service. This opportunity, which builds on rural training networks funded by state and territories, will develop rural training capacity and strengthen the rural training pathway in rural areas. The accredited intern rotations must be delivered in primary care settings in Australian Statistical Geography Standard - Remoteness Areas (ASGS-RA) 2 to 5 locations. The Rural Junior Doctor Training Innovation Fund aims to foster the development of innovative rural junior doctor training within the larger rural training networks for interns, established within state and territory health systems. This second round of funding aims to fund at least 36 FTE positions (around 160 rotations) into primary care settings to meet the target of 60 FTE positions for the program as a whole.
