Could your health setting host a new RACMA training position if Commonwealth funding was available?
Rural (MMM 2-7) and private health settings are invited to apply to add new training positions to the RACMA STP Reserve List (waiting list).

- The position must be accredited by RACMA.
- Once accredited, RACMA will submit the position for:
- Support from the relevant State or Territory Health Workforce Branch, and
- Final approval by the Commonwealth Government.
- If a funding offer is made, indicative funding for 2026 is up to $142,333 per 1.0 FTE per annum for STP positions, or up to $160,476 per 1.0 FTE per annum for IRTP positions. All amounts exclude GST.
- Inclusion on the Reserve List does not guarantee funding but allows the position to be considered if funding becomes available.
