Workforce Incentive Program (WIP)

The WIP may be accessible by AGPT registrars who provide a minimum amount of eligible primary care services in MMM 3 to 7 locations. Incentives are based on a sliding scale according to remoteness and how long you spend in a particular location based on its local classification (MMM).

Most payments commence from year 2 onward and range from $4,500 up to $60,000 depending on duration and MMM classification.
