Each RWA supports GPs, nursing, midwifery and allied health specialists, to make the transition to country practice. We deliver a range of Commonwealth-funded programs, grants and subsidies. We also offer a variety of professional development programs and events, plus wellbeing and social initiatives to value-add to a successful and rewarding life in Australia’s beautiful regions. Full offerings are available on each RWA website.

For recruitment advice and assistance, please contact the Rural Workforce Agency in the Australian state you are interested in working in. They can help you navigate through a complex international recruitment process, and will provide advice on any Commonwealth-funded program relevant to you, such as 3GA programs.
