·      Massive Grant Incentives: Eligible for the Rural General Practice Settlement Incentive (RGPSI) Grant of up to $100,000 over 5 years for VR GPs, plus procedural, CPD, and retention grants.

·      Flexible Practice Model: Bulk-billing general practice setup with high community demand.

·      Moratorium & Training Support: MMM6 & DPA location eligible for significant moratorium reductions. Remote supervision available for RVTS, AGPT, RACGP, and ACRRM independent pathways.
