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.
