Australian Healthcare Employers: Apply for STP and IRTP funding for new medical training posts

Registrations are now open to attend the 2024 GP Practice Owners Conference, which will be hosted at the Cairns Convention Centre in Queensland on Friday 24 - Sunday 26 May 2024. This is a Practice Owners Masterclass connecting like-minded GP practice owners and managers from around Australia. The conference will feature engaging and insightful presentations on the future of practice ownership, finance tips and tricks, and case studies.

The Royal Australia College of GPs (RACGP) urges the Government to fund more incentives and subsidised training to bolster GP numbers in community areas of need. Current incentives have proven effective, filling 114 training positions in areas of workforce shortage, many of which lacked registrars for extended periods. Newly filled GP training spots rose to 91% in 2024 from 85% in 2023, with an 11% increase in rural placements.

The Australian Medical Association (AMA) will hold its AMA24 Conference at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre, from August 2-4, 2024. Registrations are now open and available to members and non-members. The conference is aimed at doctors across all career stages and specialty groups. It is CPD accredited and provides an opportunity to inspire, learn, discuss topics, and network. Find out more, including how to register, keynote speakers and program details.
