Attracting Candidates / For Recruiters

Australia is heading for a major shortage of GPs particularly in urban centres, a new report finds. 

This is being blamed in part on a government policy that diverts overseas trained doctors away from cities to rural and remote areas. 

The report by Deloitte Access Economics forecasts a deficit of 9,298 full-time GPs, nearly one quarter of the workforce, by 2030.
