General Practice Recruitment and Retention Grants - Round 2

*IMPORTANT: The grant application period has now closed*

Primary Health Tasmania is launching a second round of grants to improve general practice capability to recruit and retain GPs.

In 2023 we provided a first round of grants to 19 general practices in north and north west Tasmania to strengthen their capability to recruit and retain GPs. We have now received Australian Government approval to open a second round of grants to practices in southern Tasmania, as well as to practices in the rest of the state who did not participate in round one.

As the funding pool for round two is significantly smaller than the first round the approved purposes for funding use have been tightened to ensure funding can be extended to the largest number of practices possible.

General practices located in Tasmania who did not participate in round 1 of the grants program are eligible to apply for grant funding to improve an identified area of development. Funding is limited and applications will be assessed on merit.

Practices are strongly encouraged to complete the AWARE tool as part of the application. This tool can be accessed at hrplustas.com.au/aware-gp.
