National Rural GP Locum Program

Rural Doctors Workforce Agency in partnership with the Rural Health Workforce Australia is providing rural and remote GPs with support through the Rural GP Locum Program. The Rural GP Locum Program is designed to supply affordable, quality locum relief to rural and remote GPs.
The Rural GP Locum Program has two elements - recruiting doctors who are willing to support their rural and remote colleagues by providing a locum service and providing eligible rural and remote GPs with a subsidy to offset the costs of engaging a locum.
The Rural GP Locum Program is a new Australian Government program which was announced in the May 2009 Federal Budget and launched December 21 2009. It is funded by the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing.
