RACGP applauds investment in Rural Coordination Units

A $27 million Government injection to boost the Rural Generalist Pathway marks an important step to support rural and remote GPs in training.

RACGP Rural Chair Associate Professor Ayman Shenouda said the Rural Generalist Pathway will help to attract more junior doctors to work and live in the communities that most need them.

The funding comes under the Federal Government’s $550 million package to improve access to rural general practice training as part of the Stronger Rural Health Strategy.
