RACGP National Rural Faculty
The Faculty of Rural Medicine of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) was established on 26 April 1992 by a group of dedicated rural GPs who believed that a stronger rural voice was needed within the RACGP.
Over the last 10 years, the National
Rural Faculty (as it became in
2002) has been a most progressive, dynamic and innovative Faculty within
the RACGP, now representing over 6000 members.

The National Rural Faculty of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) provides advocacy and support for rural general practitioners. Membership of the National Rural Faculty is automatic for members living or working in RMMA's 3-7. Membership is open to Associates, Members and Fellows of the College who:
- Are actively engaged in rural general practice, or
- Have significant past experience in rural general practice, or
- Have an interest in rural general practice.
This is a very exciting time for general practice. The new Australian Government has made major commitments to investments in both primary health care and hospital care. The commitment to a primary heath care strategy, although well overdue, is welcome, and we hope it will put an end to the continued fragmentation of general practice.
Offered by the National Rural Faculty on behalf of the RACGP in recognition of the additional and different educational requirements needed for general practice in rural communities.

NRF members will recall that, back in October, we emailed you all seeking your stories on the NT Emergency Intervention by the federal government. The Faculty Board became aware that there were different experiences amongst those already delivering GP services to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in NT and those flying in and out as part of the federal government intervention, but not necessarily any communication between the two.
