The ACRRM Rural Practice Community Support Grant provides remote, rural and regional communities in MMM 4-7 locations across Australia the opportunity to access funds for a broad range of healthcare related initiatives that directly and clearly benefit local communities.

Grants of up to $50,000 are available for a broad range of rural generalist community-led initiatives that directly and clearly benefit ACRRM registrar rural generalist training and recruitment in our rural and remote communities.

40 per year will be awarded, across the following areas:

Education and training
Recruitment and retention
First Nations support
University partnerships and training pathway development

ACRRM is seeking applications from training posts, rural generalists, health services, local communities' groups or rural clinical hubs that strengthen GP training, recruitment and retention for smaller communities. For Training posts that do not have an AGPT registrar in a current placement, applications can be submitted showing how the initiative will be used to attract and/or increase the number of registrars in the community.

ACRRM invites applications from organisations passionate about building a sustainable local healthcare workforce in areas of need. You may be eligible if you are:

• An ACRRM accredited training post
• A community group located in a town with an ACRRM-accredited training post
• A health service operating in an eligible rural/remote area
• A Rural Clinical Hub involved in local training and workforce development
• A Rural Generalist proposing community-focused initiative
• An Aboriginal Medical Service (AMS) or an Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Service (ACCHS) that is an ACRRM-accredited training post.
