The RDAA wants rural GP rotation places to be doubled by 2025 as a buffer against attrition rates, acknowledging that some doctors will turn their backs on rural general practice.

The Federal Government has already committed to increase the number of positions from 110 full-time equivalent to 200 full-time equivalent, equal to 800 rotations, by 2025.
