Rural Generalist Coordination Unit
The Rural Generalist Coordination Unit (RGCU) has been established within NT Health and funded by Department of Health and Aged Care (DOHAC) to coordinate the training pipeline for rural generalists and assist prevocational doctors in transitioning through their foundational skills. The RGCU provides support to doctors, facilitating their exposure to hospital and primary healthcare experiences essential for a seamless progression into vocational training.
The RGCU has successfully implemented the NT Rural Generalist Pathway – a specialised medical training program designed to attract, retain, and provide support for rural generalist doctors and the NT Health Rural Generalist Strategy PDF (9.4 MB), which outlines our strategic direction from 2022 to 2027.
The RGCU are responsible for the administration of the John Flynn Prevocational Doctor Program which aims to better streamline and coordinate medical training in regions and fund new rural primary care rotations to boost training capacity for the next generation of doctors.
