RDWA provides CPD subsidies for resident rural GP/RGs and resident rural private specialists funded by the Regional Local Health Networks.

For the GP/RG workforce, the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Resident Rural GP/RG Travel Subsidy provides funding towards personal costs associated with travelling to accredited CPD, including contributing to accommodation, economy air travel, or use of private vehicle.

For Private Medical Specialists (not GP or RG specialists), the Private Specialists CPD Subsidy provides financial support for costs associated with attending accredited professional development activities that contribute to meeting the Medical Board of Australia’s CPD Registration Standards.
