Dynamic, team-based medicine.

Doctors are choosing general practice as

a career or the many advantages it brings.

General practice allows or balance between

work and amily lie, it demands a varied

breadth o medical knowledge, it oers the

opportunity to subspecialise and the option

to undertake procedural medicine.

The Australian General Practice Training

(AGPT) program provides registrars with

the building blocks to work at the oreront

The Australian Standard Geographical

Classifcation Remoteness Areas

(ASGC-RA) system was developed in 2001

by the Australian Bureau o Statistics (ABS).

As a statistical geography structure it

allows quantitative comparisons between

city and country Australia. The purpose

o the structure is to classiy data rom

census collection districts (CDs) into broad

geographical categories, called Remoteness

Areas (RAs). The RA categories are defned

in terms o remoteness the physical

distance o a location rom the nearest urban

centre (access to goods and services) based

on population size. A primary advantage

o the new classifcation system is that the

remoteness structure is updated each census.

The ASGC-RA system was updated on 8

November 2007 ater the 2006 census.

5. Australian StandardGeographical Classifcation Remoteness Areas(ASGC-RA) System

RA 1 Major cities o Australia

RA 2 Inner regional Australia

The ollowing incentives are administered

through Medicare Australia and are part o

the Australian Governments Rural Health

Strategy to promote careers in rural areas.

General Practice Rural IncentivesPrgram (GPRIP)
