Building the general practice workforce Australia needs

The RACGP will produce regular reports that provide a point-in-time snapshot of Australia’s general practice workforce landscape, as well as the College’s Training Pathways.

The inaugural report has now been published and tracks key trends in GP distribution, training, and capacity to help plan for a strong and sustainable future.

Why does this matter?

Too many people in Australia are struggling to access a GP — and future doctors are finding the path to general practice increasingly complex.

Without action, these challenges will grow as our population ages and more people live with chronic conditions.

The RACGP national  workforce strategy 2025–30 is our opportunity to change course. It’s our first truly national workforce plan, backed by collaboration, data, stakeholder alignment and new funding.

By building a GP workforce that is well trained, well supported and well distributed, we can deliver on the promise of accessible, high-quality care for all of Australia.
