  8. Key Issues from Rural Perspective • Many are forced to go rural either due to moratorium or to access the training program • 50% of AGPT must occur in RA2 – RA5 locations • Work-life balance – family commitments • Relocation costs not always funded • GPRIPs not seen as an incentive • Compliance with National Minimum Terms & Conditions of Employment

  9. Registrar Perceptions • Positives of going Rural • Scope of practice • Great learning experience • Lifestyle • Higher Incomes • Job satisfaction of working in communities • Often seen as being a “real doctor”

  10. Challenges for the Future • Increasing supply of registrars into the future links to creating training capacity • UGPA lobbying to increase intake to 1700 • Business case for Supervision • Ageing supervisor workforce & rising costs of supervision • Smarter ways to fund supervision

  11. Challenges for the Future • Finding efficiencies across cost of training • Are we spending our money wiseley • Cost of 1 FTE week of AGPT = $1100 • Cost of 1 FTE week of PGPPP = $4400 • Changing the structure of medical training to support the entire training to occur in rural • Rural Internships

  12. The GP workforce • AIHW report • overall number of medical practitioners increased by 17.3% from 2007 to 2011, GP numbers grew by only 3.9% over that time -  less than 1% per year. • In the same period the number of clinicians grew by 18.1% including a 29.2% rise in hospital non-specialists, a 12.8% increase in specialists and a 41.8% increase in specialists in training. • 36.6% of GPs aged over 55 compared to 24.6% for the rest of the profession

  13. The Economic Imperative • Over the past three decades, Commonwealth health spending has more than doubled, to 4.0 per cent of GDP in 2001-02. • In recent years, spending on the PBS has been the fastest growing. This has doubled in % of GDP in the last decade. • Unless addressed, these trends are likely to continue to drive health spending to 8.1 per cent of GDP in 2041-42.
