In 2018-2021 RVTS has partnered with rural and remote communities of high medical workforce need to use RVTS training as part of a recruitment package.
This targeted recruitment has brought a stable workforce and enhanced continuity of care to these remote communities as well as providing career progression for the recruited doctors to GP Fellowship.
RVTS has supported the recruitment of 15 doctors to 20 remote communities across Australia, including 4 remote Aboriginal Medical Services, with high workforce need.
Under the 2020-2021 targeted recruitment strategy RVTS aimed to recruit doctors to 15 locations across Australia. Seven of these locations were Aboriginal Medical Services.
The first five locations to recruit a candidate who are successful through the RVTS selection process will be awarded training positions.
Where there are more candidates than training places per selection round, candidates will be ranked in accordance with RVTS selection criteria.
Successful applicants are eligible to commence RVTS training in January 2021 and will remain at the location for the three to four years of their training.
