Pathways to Rural


Helping GPs prepare, build confidence, and take the next step towards rural practice

This is an RACGP Rural initiative designed to help GPs prepare for rural locum and short-term placements.

The program provides practical guidance to help GPs identify gaps in their knowledge, understand the realities of rural practice, and build confidence to take on rural work.

Together, we’re empowering GPs with the skills and confidence to make a meaningful difference in rural Australia.
