Eligible GPs and rural generalist Registrars funded under the Australian General Practice Training Program can now access the GP Training Incentive Payments, which include:
- A salary incentive when they commence their first core training term in community-based primary care.
- Up to five days of study leave incentive per training year, to study for and attend exams, and attend professional development activities.
- Up to 20 weeks of parental leave incentive for eligible primary caregivers and two weeks for eligible secondary caregivers.
These incentives will encourage doctors to specialise in general practice to help build our future GPs and the rural generalist workforce.
Registrars can apply through their training provider.
