Rural Procedural Grants Program (RPGP)
RACGP and ACCRM accredited Courses
About the Rural Procedural Grants Program
In response to the current COVID-19 pandemic, the Australian Government, in collaboration with RACGP & ACRRM, has put in place a number of revised eligibility arrangements for the RPGP to support GPs during this unprecedented time. This includes the ability to claim for online education and additional Emergency Mental Health funding for eligible GPs.
The changes allowing online education to be eligible for the grant is a temporary measure because of COVID-19. Both ACRRM and the RACGP administer the grants program and will have to assess courses for eligibility.
