How to apply for funding
Specialist Training Program (STP) Funding Opportunity Reserve List Process for Rural or Private Health Settings
Applications open Monday 4 March 2024
Could your health setting host a new RACMA training position if Commonwealth funding was available?
The STP Reserve List Process enables interested rural (MMM 2-7) or private health settings to apply for new training positions to be added to the STP and/or IRTP Reserve List for future funding consideration.
Opening Date:
Applications open on Monday 4 March 2024 via the Department of Health website, and will be open for one month (closing Thursday 4 April).
Key Info:
- The STP Reserve List Process is for new RACMA training positions only (not previously funded or filled).
- The Process is managed by the Commonwealth Department of Health via an online portal.
- Applications may be made for rural or private posts.
- Health Settings applying via the Reserve List Process must also apply to RACMA for training post accreditation. Only positions that achieve accreditation can be considered for funding.
- Applications assessed as suitable will be added to RACMA’s STP or IRTP Reserve List and will be considered for future funding, should a vacancy occur.
- Health settings with a FRACMA supervisor on site are viewed favourably for future funding offers (when available).
- Funded posts in 2024 are eligible for up to $138,930 for STP positions, and up to $155,615 for IRTP positions (all amounts are per 1.0 FTE per annum and exclude GST).
- Being on the Reserve List is not a guarantee of funding.
